Re: Custom Marker example with similar functionality of GMarker

Yes, but from looking at it I think it doesn't support more than
visualization (click handlers, etc).

Also, the GMarker code isn't public (unobfuscated)? From that I could
remove and adapt it to my needs...

Still, I think it's weird that there aren't more examples of markers
with better performance than GMarker...
