How to achieve Bing maps like InfoWindow in Google Maps?
- by BillB
I'm using Google Maps v3.
I really like the InfoWindows found in Bing, as opposed to Google.
Screenshots & functionality found here comparing the two:

Question: How can I replicate Bing like InfoWindows while using Google Maps v3?
UPDATE: To be more specific, what I like about Bing's InfoWindows include:
- The pointer dynamically changes sides from left/right/bottom/top, as opposed to Google limited to only have the InfoWindow pointer on the bottom
- Bing's InfoWindows use less space
- You can configure Bing's InfoWindows to pop up outside of the map bounders so that you don't have to autopan the map to display the marker's InfoWindow
