When user click on icon, I want to show set of option. I was trying to use a flash swf file as the icon but it did not work.
I just want to do something google map like: when you click on a location on the map you see a little description of the location (name of the store, phone number, address, etc). I would like to do something similar.
How can I do that?
Thank you,

Well reading their javascript docs I don’t see how you can do that in in the same easy style as in Google maps. But you can easily have a small info box out side the map, with event listeners + icons/markers.
There is also an Anchorpoint of markers so you should be able to draw your own stuff on the map as well.
I found here what I want to do: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_POI_layer_example
It is working fine on its own with the openstreetmap API.
But I am not managing to integrate it with the cloudmade API.
Here is my code:

EMJ>> I am going to try what you proposed as a quick fix for now. But ultimately what’s in my previous post is what I want to do.
Thank you for your help.

Go with Open Layers, it’s complicated compared to the Cloudmade one, but it has more features.
I should have mentioned OL.
Ok I will do that. Thank you.

And if you can please show us what you did, as you can see there is a certain lack of good examples on how to do these things.

It is now possible to do with the latest Web Maps Lite release, see the example here: http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/web-maps-lite/examples/10
And documentation here: http://developers.cloudmade.com/wiki/web-maps-lite/Documentation
You would want to use CM.Marker#bindInfoWindow method in your case.
