Adding ID's to google map markers

I have a script that loops and adds markers one at a time.

I am trying to get the current marker to have an info window and and only have 5 markers on a map at a time (4 without info windows and 1 with)

How would I add an id to each marker so that I can delete and close info windows as needed.

This is the function I am using to set the marker:

function codeAddress(address, contentString) {



var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({

  content: contentString

});



if (geocoder) {



  geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {



    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {



        map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);



       var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

          map: map, 

          position: results[0].geometry.location

       });



       infowindow.open(map,marker);



      } else {

       alert(Geocode was not successful for the following reason:  + status);

      }

    });

  }

}

JavaScript is a dynamic language. You could just add it to the object itself.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);

marker.metadata = {type: point, id: 1};

Also, because all v3 objects extend MVCObject(). You can use:

marker.setValues({type: point, id: 1});

// or

marker.set(type, point);

marker.set(id, 1);

var val = marker.get(id);
