marker.xml

<markers> <marker hname="chc anchuthengu" lat="8.6734310" longt="76.7581770"/> <marker hname="phc perumathura" lat="8.6218640" longt="76.7975220"/> <marker hname="phc keezhattingal" lat="8.6982130" longt="76.7915000"/> <marker hname="phc azhoor" lat="8.6408080" longt="76.8252470"/> </markers> 

you need create map.markers array (this part not tested):

 downloadurl("phpsqlajax_genxml.php", function(data) {     map.markers = [];     var xml = data.responsexml;     var markers = xml.documentelement.getelementsbytagname("marker");     (var = 0; < markers.length; i++) {       var hname = markers[i].getattribute("hname");       var phone = markers[i].getattribute("phone");       var point = new google.maps.latlng(parsefloat(markers[i].getattribute("lat")), parsefloat(markers[i].getattribute("longt")));       var html = "<b>" + hname + "<br/>" + phone + "</b>";     var type = "bar";       var icon = customicons[type] || {};       var marker = new google.maps.marker({         map: map,         position: point,         icon: icon.icon,         shadow: icon.shadow       });       map.markers.push(marker);       bindinfowindow(marker, map, infowindow, html);     }   }); 

i suggest using geometry library computedistancebetween function

function find_closest_marker( event ) {     var closestmarker = -1;     var closestdistance = number.max_value;     for( i=0;i<map.markers.length; i++ ) {         var distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computedistancebetween(gmarkers[i].getposition(),event.latlng);         if ( distance < closestdistance ) {             closestmarker = i;             closestdistance = distance;         }     }     allert(map.markers[closestmarker].title); } 

working example
