How to move label outside the icon?
Yes, i looking through the site about it, but
1) We may use regular Marker, not MarkerWithLabel
2) In https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/markers example is with label inside an icon and not asingle hint howto take it outside
3) In Pset8: How to set label position and font? written:
"Yes the keyword for it is "anchorPoint" see the reference for google.maps.MarkerOptions"
I can't get how to use it properly from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/3.exp/reference#MarkerOptions

Can you give more info?This is so unclear for now

Answer 1

If you use a custom icon for your marker, you can set its labelOrigin to place it underneath. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/markers (and then look for custom icons)
