Google Maps: How to prevent InfoWindow from shifting the map

by

Since you are using v3, you can simply prevent the infoWindow from shifting the map with the disableAutoPan option, as in the following example (API Reference): 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
<head> 
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> 
   <title>Google Maps disableAutoPan Demo</title> 
   <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" 
           type="text/javascript"></script> 
</head> 
<body> 

   <div id="map" style="width: 200px; height: 200px"></div> 

   <script type="text/javascript"> 

   var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.44, -122.14);
   var myOptions = {
      zoom: 4,
      center: myLatlng,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
   }

   var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);

   var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
      content: 'Test',
      disableAutoPan: true
   });

   var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: myLatlng,
      map: map,
      title: 'Test Marker'
   });

   google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
     infowindow.open(map, marker);
   });

   </script> 
</body> 
</html>
