  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);

You can only do this with CSS, but warn that it is pretty hacked and may stop working at any time if Google changes the markup:

.gmnoprint[title] {
  overflow: visible !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

.gmnoprint[title]:after {
  content: attr(title);
  /* Style your tooltip */
}

Run code
