Description
This user appears on his own map but not on the general map:
http://www.transitionnetwork.org/node/2488/edit
This user added himself to the people directory and then noted that his mate (2488) was no longer on the map:
http://www.transitionnetwork.org/node/3240/edit
They both appear on the own profile page maps but it looks like location module can only handle one user per postcode.

- Add Hours to Ticket changed from 0.0 to 0.2
- Total Hours changed from 0.0 to 0.2
They're both there... You can see because the shadow is doubly dark as they're overlaid exactly on top of each other...
SO...
Hmmmm...
I don't know what to suggest right now. Will research the 'clusterer' options (!)

- Priority changed from major to minor
It all looks very exciting to me, but if you feel it is too unstable i guess we have to park it... taking down to minor (leaving in phase 3 for now)

- Summary changed from General map only shows one marker per postcode to General map shows markers in same places overlapped

- Type changed from defect to enhancement
- Milestone Phase 3 deleted
Moving out of phase 3 and de-prioritising to minor while we await for clustering enhancements from drupal.

I actually found a solution to this with a custom marker tweaky thing for GMaps...
Essentially, when a marker overlays another one, it's offset by a small amount.
You can see it in action on http://www.transitionus.org/action/350-challenge/map by:
- zooming into Keene, New Hampshire (North East of US)
- zooming into the south of Robin Hood park and looking for a marker with a VERY dark shadow
- zooming in to see Water Street with lots of markers - THESE ALL ONCE OVERLAPPED...
I can apply this to TN.org?

sounds good for starters, although the clustering is the choice option. particularly if we're looking at #237

Code patched as per TUS as a quick fix - in SVN and waiting for #263.
Clustering to be looked at when time allows.
