Can anyone explain how the new beta geocaching site might have managed to get all those markers displayed?
http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/ I assume they're using a kml file merged into maps by Google some how but isn't there a 3Mb limit on the zipped kml or 10Mb limit on the unzipped version? Wouldn't the number of geocaches all over the world blow that limit when they zoom out to show full map? Would they be limiting the number of entries that are actually displayed when zoomed out somehow (server-side?) since when zoomed out there could actually be quite a few entries within the same area of the map covered by the icon itself? There are probably other maps that have the same issue of displaying millions of entries that goes beyond the kml filesize limit but this was the example I found and was wondering how they could do that since I have a lot of markers to display and was interested to know how this had been achieved.
