Tooltip for Marker

Tooltip is used to display more information about marker on mouse over or touch end event. This can be enabled separately for layer or marker by setting the tooltipSettings.visible property to true. The valuePath property in tooltip takes the field name that presents in dataSource and displays that value as tooltip text. The following code example illustrates enabling the tooltip for marker to show city name field. To know more about tooltip, please refer to the API documentation.
