Let me give you use case to better explain what I'm trying to do. Let's say I'm attempting to plot out all of the Starbucks locations throughout the country. Instead of having the clusters created organically (ala MarkerClusterer), I'd like to have them clustered by state - but I don't want to have to worry about manually adding them individually based on the state they are in (forgetting for a moment how simple this would be to do in the US - it's just an example).
I'm assuming I would first have to create the individual polygons somehow using a list of lat/long coords to define each "state" (the way you would create an image map in HTML, for example). How could I easily have the marker be assigned to a state, based on its own lat/ long coords? I can use GLatLngBounds to have it associated with a rectangular boundary, but how about a polygon? - JG On Mar 17, 4:13 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mar 17, 12:09 pm, JGarrido <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I've looked at libraries like MarkerClusterer (http://gmaps-utility- > > library-dev.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerclusterer/), and it would > > work great to have clusters created organically, but what I'm > > currently attempting to do is create clusters based on specific > > geographic areas (think states, countries, provinces, etc.). > > > Is anyone aware of a library that has the option to accomodate this? > > If not, any ideas on how to enable a marker to 'be aware' of a > > geographic region without having to manually assign it to one? > > You could "manually" do the clustering with the marker manager.
