Theming Gmap pop-ups
I've been wrestling with theming the pop-up for a Gmap view. There are some tutorials, but they seem like total overkill for my problem.
I want to get some people's feedback on the ways they've gone about making small changes to their map. I think there are quite a few people out there who want to make small changes to their map.
Here are some links I've found:

This seems like total overkill: http://drupal.org/node/130671
and there are no solid conclusions here: http://drupal.org/node/185617
Here is my specific problem:
You can see that the text runs off the popup bubble. I can theme the internals of the bubble, the text and the fields and all, but the bubble itself is a composite image and the height doesn't seem to grow with additional content.

I can't see exactly what the
I can't see exactly what the issue is here without a link to the web page that is displaying your map, but my best guess is this:
The google maps api does some dynamic calculations to set the height of the info window (popup bubble). However it often gets this calculation wrong - I've run into this when putting images in the info window. I think this relates to css elements being floated left or right. So try inspecting the css of your info window with firebug and seeing if this is the case. Try assigning fixed heights or clearing the floats of various elements of the infowindow and then reloading the page.
Also, I'd recommend posting this as an issue in the gmap issue queue - that's the best place to get bugs looked at and ideally to find a permanent solution for this.
