How slow is slow is highly dependent on your machine and even browser choice...For me in Firefox the page loads quite reasonably... where as with Internet explorer it hits the script timeout mechanism internet explorer is far slower than everyone else hands down (it looks like while trying to run the clustering code), The clustering code is a bit old in GeoXml, I rather want to update it with a different method I think I have seen it cause problems on occasion instead of help you might try setting the defaultMaxVisibleMarkers higher so that it doesnt try actually clustering. before running parse() Clusterer.defaultMaxVisibleMarkers = 1000; //this would stop the clustering from activating to test the theory above To get control of the initial map position I recommend setting it a global view and passing nozoom:true You could use markermanager in combination with geoxml, by passing a function via addmarker option to GeoXml. I am considering supporting MarkerLight markers directly --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
