LOL =). I will try not to leave an opening to postulate on a question like, "worth my trouble".
Yes, I have touched on some marker management articles. However, I am not there yet since I don't have 100s of markers to manage yet. This question focuses on user interaction with the map and data retrieval. I feel like I am missing some fundamentals with gmaps. In my sleepy state last night, I may not have captured the essence of the approach. 1) Only data is retrieved for the viewable map. There is no extra data sent and the communication is lean, but can be chatty. 2) Data is retrieved for a much bigger "proximity" with the viewable area only representing a subset of the dataset retrieved. The communication is wasteful but is less chatty. Is there an overall consensus in the community, when starting out a project, for which approach is better? I am not seeing the challenges further down the road that may warrant switching to one approach over the other. However, my analysis is making me hesitate in committing to the direction I am going, which is to research how to handle zoom/ scaling and pan. I am sure there is one dominant approach over the other. Or approaches I am not considering since I am a noob.
