Need to automatically expand popup in view-based GMap

I feel like I'm missing something, but I've spent a bunch of time trying to figure this out and I'm stuck.

I've created a view with a style of GMap. Generally this works wonderfully; the fields I've defined appear in the pop-up, and for the Block display I have the nid defined as an argument so that only the location of the current node is displayed on the map.

What I need to do is have the pop-up window displayed as soon as the map is rendered. I've found the autoclick functionality in the macro documentation and the code, but since I'm not defining the markers in the macro I haven't been able to find a way to make use of that. The view defines the markers for me, if I understand correctly, and therefore I don't think I have any control of how they're defined (beyond which icon to use, anyway).

So... am I missing anything? Is there a way to have the pop-up displayed automatically when using views?

Thanks
