I'm using this example to set up a route with more then 8 markers.

It works like a charm but I have problem to setup an infowindow for each waypoint. I would like to leave markers names like A , B ,C or generate it in otherway but to keep A,B,C or 1,2,3 pattern and I want to add infowindow to each marker which contains title text and link.
I was trying to find any info or examples but nothing works. Maybe someone have and idea how to easily add infowindow to this code.
Here is an example that draws the directions from scratch with custom markers and infowindows:
Example
If you use the suppressInfoWindows option on the DirectionsRenderer, you can just use the part of it that creates the markers and their associated infowindows.
Working example based on your code
