this is the same with initiatives - see these two with the same postcode:

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 (!)

http://drupal.org/node/530328 has some part solutions, still being worked on... Will park for now.

Ed?

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

ed — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:29:58 GMT

Moving out of phase 3 and de-prioritising to minor while we await for clustering enhancements from drupal.

any clustering enhancements from drupal now? bringing back to phase 4 to discuss.

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.

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

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 21:28:35 GMT

Code patched as per TUS as a quick fix - in SVN and waiting for #263.

Clustering to be looked at when time allows.
