Google Maps V3 Overlapping Markers on exact Location

I am having issues with markers overlapping, please do not down vote as I am not highly schooled in javascript also I have looked at the different answers offered on stackoverflow but have not been able to use them to find a solution so please help! The code is grabbing php for lat and long based on static points I have given I would simply like to list all of the information in the same marker rather than have it overlap markers any help would be highly appreciated here is the code:

  <head>

function load() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {

  // Change this depending on the name of your PHP file
  downloadUrl("genxml.php", function(data) {
    var xml = data.responseXML;
    var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");

How do I hide other markers on Google Maps?

Step 1 Go to Add or Edit Map and Scroll down to the 'Infowindow Settings' section. Step 2 Enable the box of 'Hide Markers on Page Load' option. Step 3 Click on Save Map and open it in browser.

If you don't want markers overlapping, you'll probably need to use google-maps-utility-library-v3. It has a feature called Marker Clusterer, which basically allows you to put nearby markers into one singular marker. It can be configured so that these markers reappear as separate entities once the user has zoomed in far enough. Here's a demo.
