Thanks! This was very helpful. I also was able to apply some zoom-based rules to my markers on other maps. How do I make text or markers not show until there is a certain zoom level. Like in the examples on docs.geoserver.org where the labels use the <VendorOption name="spaceAround">10</VendorOption> in the SLD, the labels don't show if they overlap. Can I also use this if I only want some markers to show at a certain zoom level? I don't have any priority on the markers but when you zoom out the map it looks like a big mess with thousands of markers together. I would like to show only some markers or a big "blob" just to symbolize that there are a lot of markers there. When you zoom in you can see more markers. Is this something that is done on GeoServer or is this OpenLayers stuff?
