Without clustering the map is too slow to be usable. The clustering algorithm creates a grid and uses the large marker whenever there are more than a (configurable) number of markers in a square. I'll try refining the grid a bit and upping the number per grid to see what happens. For usablility, the goal is to keep less than about 150 markers on the screen at a time. One idea I had was to overlay the number of people represented by a marker to the center of the marker. > The other issue I have is that the data is too detailed in lots of cases > - one can easily spot which place exactly certain DDs live (I don't > have a personal issue with this though, because I just gave the > coordinates of the town I live in which isn't secret anyways). Is this really a concern? All the public knows is that an anonymous DD lives within 1km of that spot (actually about .7km east-west at 45 deg N or S). -- James Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
