Google Maps Api: infowindow vs infobubble?

Question

I'm trying to create a map with multiple markers using google maps api v3 javascript. I've read many tutorials and I really confused about infowindows/infobubbles. Is it the same thing or are they different, and how? It seems to me that they are two different things cause there's a different object created in each case.

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var infobubble = new google.maps.InfoBubble();

Anybody knows more information about this?

Answer 1

• A google.maps.InfoWindow is a built in object in the Google Maps Javascript API v3
• A InfoBubble is a "third party" replacement for an InfoWindow, it has similar functionality but more flexibility in some ways.
