http://geocubes.com/ sent this by Tobias Scheuerer through flickr, geocubes clusters geo- referenced data into squares showing the number of points in the area. This allows a visitor to zoom into the squares and see the results. This avoids indistinct point-clouds geocubes displays the data on the map either as one marker per data point or a square with a number representing the number of points in that square. To achieve this, geocubes displays an overlay over the Google Map integrated into the page. Like the underlying map, the geocubes overlay is requested by the client through a JavaScript command.To display a geocubes map, the client fetches the original map from Google and the geocubes overlay from the geocubes servers. This happens in parallel so there is no speed loss. The geocubes overlay is then displayed on top of the Google map with functionality provided by the Google API.
For each movement in the map - zoom or scroll - both map and geocubes overlay are fetched again. So the whole process runs perfectly in combination with Google Maps - and it is just as easy to integrate! Actually geocubes clusters geo-points and the user gets a well- structured represention. This is fastening the map search and reduces the load time of maps.
