Google maps

[tres]

Is anyone a Google Maps wizard?
I've got this far after thousands of trial and error mistakes

I'm trying to do two things -

1) Have text next to the marker
2) Have the option of a course heading

Both illustrated beautifully on this page:

(Filters - show ship name and show ship course for 2 minutes)

Might anyone have any idea how this is achievable? Would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!!
