How can I disable the info window (normally showing the coordinates or address) completely, leaving only the map visible?

Suggestions highly apprechiated!

There is an openInfoWindow reference in the .js that opens the info window. You could comment it out at the appropriate place. If you had a url I could give you the line number and more precise reference.

As my site is still under construction, I have for now only a very basic implementation of the map (with static data) - to get the try and feel for the dynamic integration with a database.

The example can be found under:
http://www.limaeasy.com/lima_info/lima_info_overview.php .

In the middle of the page is section called "Map of Lima" (clicking on the small map will open a new browser window with the real google map).

All related files are under:

Thanks for having a look!

OK, you will see code in your .js file:

GEvent.addListener(marker_0, 'click', function() {
marker_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0.infowindowte xt);
});
if(!fromAddress.enabled || 'address_0' != 'address_0') {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
map.addOverlay(marker_0);
marker_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0.infowindowte xt);

you can see that openInfoWindowHtml() function is referenced twice. You would want to leave the one inside the .addListener() section and comment out the second one like:

GEvent.addListener(marker_0, 'click', function() {
marker_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0.infowindowte xt);
});
if(!fromAddress.enabled || 'address_0' != 'address_0') {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
map.addOverlay(marker_0);
// marker_0.openInfoWindowHtml(address_0.infowindowte xt);
