function addMarker(map, googleLatLng, title, content){
var markerOptn={
position:googleLatLng,
map:map,
title:title,
animation:google.maps.Animation.DROP
};
 
var marker=new google.maps.Marker(markerOptn);
 
var infoWindow=new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: content, 
                                               position: googleLatLng});
    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(){
infoWindow.open(map);
});   
}

Add the content and position information to InfoWindow constructor of Google Maps API.
Also add a event listener: once the marker is clicked, open the message window on the map.
