Lots of markers on Google Maps
- jmm 16y agoGood stuff. I've used maptimize.com in the past for dealing with ad hoc geographical visualizations.

- dashr 16y agoI used one of the approaches, Marker Clusterer, recently for a quickie map of 500+ orgs: http://appealforcommunities.org/networkmap http://appealforcommunities.org/networkmap The InfoWindows were particularly tricky. I wish we could have had the time to do custom marker logos, but the nuclear-like ones work well.
- chewbranca 16y agoNice article. Another good resource I found is this Google I/0 2009 video on performance tips with google maps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI8at1EmJjA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI8at1EmJjA
- rendezvouscp 16y agoIt should be noted that this is for v2 of the API (which has been deprecated). For a more recent post about lots of markers on a v3 map, you might want to check out Redfin’s post on their solution, MultiMarker: http://blog.redfin.com/devblog/2010/07/introducing_multimarker_the_fastest_way_to_add_many_hundreds_or_thousands_of_markers_on_google_maps.html http://blog.redfin.com/devblog/2010/07/introducing_multimark...
- olalonde 16y agoWhy does this get up voted? It's a 2 years old tutorial on a deprecated Google Maps module that most HNers will never use. Am I missing something?
- fname 16y agoI used ClusterMarker for a storm reporting site I built when the mashups craze first started. It handled the hundreds or so markers I needed it for wonderfully well, Which made me just realize that v2 of the Google Maps is deprecated and it's time to upgrade to v3.
