I actually did that here: http://energycoalition.org/energy-architects-in-action/

in the add_marker portion I updated it to this:

/*
	*  add_marker
	*/
	 
	function add_marker( $marker, map ) {
	 
		// var
		var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( $marker.attr('data-lat'), $marker.attr('data-lng') );
	 
		// create marker
		var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
			position	: latlng,
			map			: map,
			icon: '...'
		});

	 
		// add to array
		map.markers.push( marker );

		
	 
		// if marker contains HTML, add it to an infoWindow
		if( $marker.html() )
		{
			// create info window
			
	 

			 liTag=$("body ul.utilities").find("[data-lat='" + $marker.attr('data-lat') + "']");
			 // console.log(liTag);
			// show info window when marker is clicked
			$(liTag).click(function() {
				infowindow.setContent($marker.html());
				infowindow.open(map, marker);
			});

			google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
				infowindow.setContent($marker.html());
				infowindow.open(map, marker);
			});

			// close info window when map is clicked
		     google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
		        if (infowindow) {
		            infowindow.close(); }
				}); 

		}
	 
	}

I use to separate loops, one to output the list items, and one for the map. In the list items I add the latitude to the LI itself
