Ahh clustering. I've been searching for all manner of things related to the 
problem but not 'clustering' which is the name of the solution. No vectors here 
as far as I can tell. I just mean points. In KML I'd say placemarks.

Hi, 

youre talking about vectors here right? Have you tried cluster strategy?

Cheers

Hi All,
I'm trying to display a load of points (ranging from 5-2000 depending on user 
prefs) across New Zealand and many of them end up very close to another one. So 
close that you'd have to zoom in well below the level that the baselayer 
becomes a blur before being able to tell them apart. I like the way Google 
Earth in all it's 3D goodness smoothly separates coincident markers but I've 
been searching for a while and seen no such solution for any web based mapping 
tool. It seems like something others would come across too and I'd rather not 
write something to recalculate the marks at each zoom, grouping them together 
as the user zooms out. Has anyone here dealt with this problem and found a good 
solution?
Cheers,
Craig
