Is there a way to get a marker by its ID from a markergroup?

I would like to pan the map to a specific marker’s lat/lng when a link  
is clicked, but i dont want to use showmarker because it opens the  
info window

Thanks

How does this relate to Rails? What are markers and markergroups?  
They’re certainly not Rails concepts.
