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

It the text is static, you can use a marker and an image :

var label = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(50,50),
    map: map,
    icon: "/images/mytextasanimage.png"
});
