Is it possible to write custom text on Google Maps API v3?

Question

Is it possible to write a custom text on Google Maps API v3 next to the marker, or I can use only the info window to do that?

Answer 1

By far the easiest way to add a Text Overlay is to use the MapLabel class from https://github.com/googlemaps/js-map-label

var mapLabel = new MapLabel({
  text: 'Test',
  position: new google.maps.LatLng(50,50),
  map: map,
  fontSize: 20,
  align: 'right'
});
