Adding a tooltip to marker

A common thing one might want to do is to add a tooltip to the marker. The tooltip is displayed when a user hovers with the mouse pointer over the marker. This is easily done by adding the property title to the marker options object.
Since this marker won’t be clickable I want to somehow indicate this. That is done by setting the property clickable to false. This results in that the mouse cursor won’t change on hover.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
  position: new google.maps.LatLng(56.8848, 14.7730),
  map: map,
  title: 'My workplace',
  clickable: false
}); 

Hope this helps!
