Cheers for the replies guys. Yes, if you look at my code, I AJAX'd it up a bit, but its still slow. I've even tried using static PNG files but all this still seems to slow. I think its the many-markers thats the slow down, but I can't figure out where. I've even tried preloading the static image in the HTML page, and delaying the JS to initialise the map, in an attempt to cache the marker image. But still no joy.
As you can see the zoom is over Scotland, and there are a few markers all cluttered together, perhaps I should look into clustering? Is this 'easy' enough??

Try xml or json (table) and get only coords, point type (for icon), then if user put mouse over the icon (why generated with php? use static image png) then get data for that point using ajax. sorry, my english is not good ;) best regards, pbaker Hey guys, I'm kind of new to this group, and I don't know if this is the best place to ask so I'll just come out and ask. I am integrating googleMaps into a clients website that is to plot markers for every mountain in UK. However it is running REALLY slow when I load them. It sometimes loads in around 300 markers, takes about 5-10 seconds, and locks up the browser too. The url is here: http://tgo.waracle.net/mountains/?all Does anyone have any ideas on how to load them quicker? or any other optimisation tips.

What browsers are "all browser" (it doesn't return false in any of the ones installed on my computer)? Perhaps you could enlighten us as to how you are using it.
