I don't know why you would need to fire an event? I just used an event to demo it. These properties and methods are part of each marker object. Normally I imagine you would be looping through an array of markers, getting its icon size, comparing it to the others around detecting for overlap, etc

Is it the pixel coordinates you are after for the anchor location? This might help. var containerHelper = null;//set in global space //call this somewhere in your map init function to create an overlay that you can use to translate the coordinates function init_helper_container(){ contain
