Ok, after working with marker manager and the files from http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_markermanager2.htm
I've got it mostly working. Exported my google spreadsheet to excel, then converted it to an xml file. I think this is going to end up working perfectly for me and doing everything I want. To preface what is written below that may or may not make any sense: retail3.htm doesn't work, and retail5.htm does. In retail5.htm I did notice that there is something wonky with the xml file. It's from where I had html in the google spreadsheet. I'll need to figure out what that's all about as well. Also the loading code is wrong. When It was working, it would clear before everything loaded. And here is an error for retail5.htm Error: esasZoomOut is not defined Source File: http://hardins.com/retail5.htm Line: 202 Here is the error I get when I tried to add the search function to retail3.htm: Error: syntax error Source File: http://hardins.com/retail3.htm Line: 266, Column: 4 Source Code: } On Oct 17, 11:12 am, "pamela (Google Employee)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey chris- > > Generally, your options when dealing with displaying many markers are: > 1) Clustering > 2) Marker management (different markers at different zoom levels) > 3) Lighter-weight overlay (e.g. MarkerLight) > 4) Turn them into a clickable tile layer > ..or some combination of those. > > The following example combines MarkerManager with MarkerLight (2 with > 3):http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/photolayer/photolayer.html > > - pamela > > On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 8:20 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think I misunderstood what marker light was intended to do.
