InfoWindow Hover

[kevingerstner]

It would be great to have an option to show InfoWindows on hover, similar to apps like Yelp or Tripadvisor. Is this a limitation because of the close button that cannot be controlled by the API? If so, is it possible to create a custom infowindow?

You can still use the InfoWindow component for this, since it could be automatically shown on hover and it will simply disappear when it's no longer rendered in the react-component tree. I think there is also be a hacky way to remove the 'x'-button from the html in these cases using some css.

Alternatively, you can use e.g. the advanced-markers to add html content to the map at a specified lat/lng position. See here for an example: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/advanced-markers/html-markers. (when using this library you can pass the marker html-content to the <AdvancedMarker> as child-components, see here).
