I sketched up this CodePen example utilizing the gmaps-labels class. It is based on the fiddle in the Q above and adds the ose of a LabelOverlay class. The class requires a new google.maps.LatLng, dimensions (in LatLng units) of a box centered around the label's point (If the label would overflow this box, hide it, and some CSS. Heres a code stub, check out the demo in the CodePen.

var MIN_BOX_H = 0.0346, 
    MIN_BOX_W = 0.121,
    MAX_BOX_H = 0.001, 
    MAX_BOX_W = 0.03;



var overlay1 = new LabelOverlay({
    ll      : myLatlng,

    minBoxH     : MIN_BOX_H,
    minBoxW     : MIN_BOX_W,

    maxBoxH     : MAX_BOX_H,
    maxBoxW     : MAX_BOX_W,

   ...

   label        : "I want on top",
   map      : map
});
