How to access Google Maps API v3 marker’s DIV and its pixel position?

by

I don’t really get why would you want to get specific div for marker? If you want to display tooltip then all you need is pixel position of markers anchor (and knowledge about size of marker and placement of anchor), not div element. You can always trigger opening and closing tooltip by hand when event occurs on google.maps side.

For getting pixel position of anchor of given marker you can use this code:

var scale = Math.pow(2, map.getZoom());
var nw = new google.maps.LatLng(
    map.getBounds().getNorthEast().lat(),
    map.getBounds().getSouthWest().lng()
);
var worldCoordinateNW = map.getProjection().fromLatLngToPoint(nw);
var worldCoordinate = map.getProjection().fromLatLngToPoint(marker.getPosition());
var pixelOffset = new google.maps.Point(
    Math.floor((worldCoordinate.x - worldCoordinateNW.x) * scale),
    Math.floor((worldCoordinate.y - worldCoordinateNW.y) * scale)
);

In pixelDistance you get offset of specific marker anchor counted from left upper corner of the map (and you can get it’s position from map.getDiv() div). Why it works like this (or is there a better way?) you can read in documentation of google maps overlays.
