Thanks for your reply. I have thought about that, but can't find a good solution for that either. Sure, nobody needs them all at zoomed out level. But the user needs to see that there are at least some at a location (like I said, whole country). So I would have to, don't know, show only one in ten or something like that. They are clustered in the mountains and far between in other areas. Meaning I would have to calculate, what? The distance between all points? How would I decide which to display and which not to display? The problem gets even more complicated, as there are even some points in other countries all over the world (very few but increasing with use), so the users DO zoom in and out a lot. Thats why they need to see in which countries/areas there are some points.
Hmh... But you are right, if I want to grow my app there has to be a way to decide which points to display if there is a performance penalty for each point.
