How can I link from a node to the gmap map view of all of this node type such that it, amidst all other markers, opens the infoWindow for that node?

Well, I just made it possible to have an info window automatically expand by setting $marker['autoclick'] = true;...
Not quite sure how to set this on the correct marker though.

Need to think about it some more.....

I wish I had time to look into this as well, but probably won't..
However, maybe it would help to share some of the struggle of how-to. For instance, is the difficulty in identifying a marker by ID so some variable could be passed into the gmap macro? Is it, once identified, getting google maps api to respond and pop a particular one open?

This works for gmap 6.x.1.1-rc1 with views gmap style.
You can edit the function render() in gmap_plugin_style_gmap.inc on line 127 inserting an if statement 

if($row->nid == arg(1))
{$info_exp = TRUE;}  else  {$info_exp = FALSE;}

and then in the markers array add 'autoclick' => $info_exp,. By adding the nid argument to the href of the of say a list of links on a seperate node you will be able to link to a specific gmap info window.

Hopes this Helps.

Hi Trying the same...but not working.

Can't somehow autoclick be added to the Gmap Macro in the gmap Views ...something like
Current code

[gmap zoom=6  |width=450px |height=400px |control=Small |type=Map |behavior=+autozoom]

[gmap zoom=6  |width=450px |height=400px |control=Small |type=Map |behavior=+autozoom |markers=%autoclick]

Not working though...

#4, can you please give the complete function changes please? Where precisely to input that code? And how to add 'autoclick' => $info_exp to the array?
I am not a programmer. Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!

Greetings, Martijn
