InfoWindow Tips and Tricks

In the old Google Maps API (version 2), you could do all sorts of things with InfoWindows.

In this chapter, I will, however, show you how to build some of the functionality that the old API has. But first you’ll look at how to fill the InfoWindow with rich content using HTML.
