Thanks. My current solution is still that I only display markers in a certain radius of the center. That works fine, as the markers are peaks/cabins in the swiss alps and the user knows where the peaks are anyway. If I want to expand my app, though, I need a solution that scales. By now I have found several Javasript APIs, that handle this problem in a way similiar to what you suggested: by clustering markers. e.g.: http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerclusterer/1.0/
I haven't found the time to solve that yet, as it is not pressing at the moment. But I will probably define areas (e.g. Berner Oberland, Wallis, Tessin) and countries and cluster the markers located there.
