};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
for (var i = 0, length = json.length; i < length; i++) {
var data=json[i];
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);
// Creating a marker and putting it on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
title: data.title
});
}
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: data.description

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

Answer
The problem is if you try and assign content to the infowindow within a loop. Then when you click the marker, it only knows about the content from the very last iteration of the loop. You need a closure instead. There's a couple of different ways to handle this, here's how I usually do it:
function initialize() {
var mapProp = {
center:myCenter,
zoom:5,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: ""
});
for (var i = 0, length = json.length; i < length; i++) {
var data=json[i];
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng);
// Creating a marker and putting it on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
title: data.title
});
bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infowindow, data.description);
}
}
function bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infowindow, description) {
marker.addListener('click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(description);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
