Does anyone know if its possible to have the Cloud window within a gmap display on page load, rather then only after the user clicks the marker?

I'm pretty sure its possible with the google maps api by simply doing this:
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);

Thanks.

Add a custom js to the page and do:

Drupal.gmaps.map.behaviors.exampleBehavior = function(gmi) {
  //select which map do we want to handle
  if (gmi.getContainer()[0].id == 'example_dom_id') {
    //select the proper marker
    var marker = gmi.overlays.marker['example_marker_id'];
    var handler = new GMapsMarkerActionHandlerContent(marker);
    handler.click();
  }
};

Without marker id:

Drupal.gmaps.map.behaviors.exampleBehavior = function(gmi) {
  //select which map do we want to handle
  if (gmi.getContainer()[0].id == 'example_dom_id') {
    $.each(gmi.overlays.marker, function() {
      var handler = new GMapsMarkerActionHandlerContent(this);
      handler.click();
      //break the loop after the first iteration
      return false;
    });
  }
};

That worked great, thanks xmarket!

For anyone that wants to find the dom id, simply add an alert before the if condition:

Drupal.gmaps.map.behaviors.exampleBehavior = function(gmi) {
  //select which map do we want to handle
  alert(gmi.getContainer()[0].id );

  if (gmi.getContainer()[0].id == 'example_dom_id') {
    //select the proper marker
    var marker = gmi.overlays.marker['example_marker_id'];
    var handler = new GMapsMarkerActionHandlerContent(marker);
    handler.click();
  }
};

And if you're looking for the name of the example_marker_id, simply look through your inline javascript in your html source for a reference to "marker" like so:
"marker": { "<this is your marker id>": { "basic":...

Cheers.

It's a little bit easier if you have firebug. On its DOM tab you can find all of the map definitions at Drupal.settings.gmaps.map.{map_id}.overlays.marker.{marker_id}.

Of course, there are usually multiple maps and multiple markers per map.
