I'm not quite sure what you mean by "associate individual pages to markers", 
but you can have links in the baloon that appears after clicking on the 
marker. See the section "Advanced usage : many pin markers in one map".

For example, you can have this:

: %gmap% [[GMap:ll=...]]  : Center, view and zoom of the map
: GMap:ll=48.84,2.31      : [[My page 1]]
: GMap:ll=...             : [[Group/My page 2]]

etc.

If you want to have the coordinates written in the pages, and to have an 
automatic map, it might be possible to use a pagelist, but this is quite an 
advanced topic.

In every page, you set a PageTextVariable like (:Coords:48.84,2.31:) - note, 
there are no spaces.

Then, in the page with the map, you can use such markup:

(:if false:)
[[#mapfmt]]
(:template first:)
: %gmap% [[GMap:ll=...]] : Center, view and zoom of the map
(:template each:)
: GMap:ll={=$:Coords} : [[{=$FullName}|+]]
[[#mapfmtend]]
(:ifend:)
(:pagelist fmt=#mapfmt group=MyGroup $:Coords=???*:)

This should create automatically the GMap definition list.
