Round Overlay Title Attribute

Question

I understand that google.maps.Marker can have a title set in them in its parameters, can the same be done for google.maps.Circle ?

I tried just setting the title to the google.maps.CircleOptions object, but that does nothing.

Is there a way I can give a circle a title? I assume that when you hover over a circle, the cursor changes to pointer , so there should be some kind of detection there. I don’t want to make my own tooltip and attach it to the hover event on the circle, I want to use the browser built into the title bar.

Answer 1

It is currently not possible to add a title to a circle. As you can see from CircleOptions , it does not display the “name” as an option that you can use.

The job might be to listen to the mousemove event on the circle and then show your own title as a custom OverlayView
