But you have identified that
      var marker = new GMarker(point);
is somewhat similar. This is where some javascript experience helps
when using the maps API.
In general terms, GMarker(point) is equivalent to GMarker(banana) is
equivalent to GMarker(any_variable_name_you_like). The name that you
choose to use for a variable is pretty unimportant.

In the other thread, the advice was given as an example
new GMarker(latlng, {title:"Tooltip text"})
in your case you have
new GMarker(point)
as a part of one line ; to make it like the example you would use
new GMarker(point, {title:"Tooltip text"} )

A more realistic example might look like
var tooltipText = "Some wordies" ;
var marker = new GMarker(point, {title: tooltipText} );
using normal javascript variable-substitution
