A previous Q&A provided a great example of what I'm looking to do with a map, but I'm clearly missing something when I integrate portions into my own page, as I keep getting an error thrown and can't see where I'm wrong.
Previous Q&A :
Overlapping Pointers with MarkerClustererPlus and OverlappingMarkerSpiderfier
I'm working on a page for a directional route with waypoints and clustered markers at given distances along the route / polyline. It works great as is, but the icing would be Spiderfied clustered markers.
Here's my code so far :

var map;
var marker;
var gmarkers = [];

//INFO WINDOW

//CREATE MARKER
function createMarker(latlng, label, team, html) {

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
icon: iconImage,

zIndex: Math.round(latlng.lat() * -100000) << 5
});
marker.myname = label;
gmarkers.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(contentString);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
return marker;
}

If I make it global, but leave it in the idle event listener, then I get a different error (because oms is not initialized when it is used).
Initializing it inline solves the issue, but I believe you want to add the same markers to the oms as you do to the MarkerClusterer (unless the functionality you are trying to implement is different than I am expecting)
