There are about 100 markers on a google map plus there is one special marker that needs to be visible. Currently, the markers around it hide it totally or partially when the map is zoomed out. I need that marker to be fully visible and I think keeping it on top of all other markers should do the trick. But I cannot find a way to modify its stacking order (z-index).

This is for Google Maps API 2.

For Google Maps API 3 use the setZIndex(zIndex:number) of the marker.

See: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#Marker
