Besides to get all the markets within the bounds of the map I think that TIA is wondering if possible to group the results by area.
For example: if I have 500 points which are within the bounds of the map I would like to group the points / markers based on the zoom level because if I load 500 points within a region of the map, the client browser will collapse (too much markers). Look at this example: http://case-appartamenti.ebay.it/Milano/vendita Does someone have an idea how the ebay system works? Any suggestion? I think that somehow use the zoom level to group by area or region, but I am not sure if it uses the radio of each point. I don't really know and I would like to get your thoughts about it.
