Drawing in a View

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I have a view which show a map of a city centre in which I display some
icons to represent certain places of interest. I need to be able to have
some sort of rectangular box away from each icon which has information
regarding each place of interest.
I am thinking of something like a messagebox like below

------------------
| |
| INFO |

but i need to be able to set this anchor point away from different edges so
that the boxes do not cover each other up.

Any ideas??
