If you treated them as labels when zoomed out (maxscale 50000 for example), then you could take advantage of the label colission features of mapserver to avoid overlaps.

when zoomed in further you could have another layer (minscale 50000 for example) that shows all the detail...

so you would have two layer definitions in this case...
Cheers,

Dear list,
I got a layer with gps points. On the largest scale of my map the symbols for points overlap and are not distinguishable from one another since they are too close together.

Is it possible to tell mapserver to draw only that many of the points/symbols that do not overlap, so that more points will be shown the more I zoom into the map?

Thank you,
Nils
