    To test:
  </h3>
  <ol>
    <li>Hover over the marker "C":
      <ul>
        <li>Tooltip with "C" shows up at upper left corner of marker</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Hover over group of markers "B" and "A" (hidden by B):
      <ul>
        <li>Nothing happens! This is expected/desired behavior</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Click group of markers "B" and "A":
      <ul>
        <li>Markers jump apart from each other, with lines to their original locations</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Hover over either "A" or "B", in their "spiderfied" state:
      <ul>
        <li>Current behavior: Tooltip with correct info shows up, but at the original location of the marker</li>
        <li>Desired behavior: Tooltip shows up at the current location of the marker</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
