Google Maps API - Custom Marker, NOT an image

Is it possible to use a custom marker that is only text on a google map (that is NOT an image)?

For example, I display a small circle with a number in it on specified locations on the google map. I only know that I can add markers, with the data popping up after the marker is clicked - I rather display the data directly on the map.

Thanks for the help.

You could try using an "overlay" as outlined here:

Alternatively, maybe generating text as dynamic images using ImageMagick would be a good solution: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php
