Wordpress Advanced Custom Fields, Google Map, open only ONE infowindow at a time

Question

I'm using google maps addon of Advanced Custom Fields for WordPress. I have multiple points on the map, some are very close to one another. I can open open them no problem, however I need to have one open at time. So if I open one, it closes the others. The Marker set up on click for advanced custom fields is as follows:

if( $marker.html() )
{
    // create info window
    var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
        content     : $marker.html(),
        maxWidth: 250
    });


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

Any help on how to append this so only one window is open at a time would be greatly appreciated
