I don't think that clustering makes sense on this sort of map. One little thing that you can do to improve things is to make sire that all the resources that it uses actually exist. Error 404s can be inefficient. http://redhawks.semo.edu/www/images/admin/clear.gif http://redhawks.semo.edu/favicon.ico
It's a pity that GIcon.sprite is still undocumented, otherwise you could speed up the loading of those custom icons the way that Google do with things like http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/cb/pegman.png Loading one larger image is a lot faster than loading lots of very small images. There's a period during your page loading when 30 very small marker images are loaded one after another, taking a typical total elapsed time of 3.2 seconds. If they could be combined into a single image, that image would load in something like 0.3 seconds. In your case, because this is a University project that probably doesn't need to be future proof, I'd suggest using GIcon.sprite anyway. If you think you might want to use the facility in the future, add your star to issue 760. http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=760 -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
