Marker Clustering
Hello,
Is marker clustering on the TODO list? It's probably a must have for any project with a large number of markers.
Thanks!
From a UX perspective I would avoid clustering as it leads to confusion. Instead, limit the number and/or desnsity of markers when zoomed out, and add more as the user zooms in. As this algorithm would need to change depending on your datasource and usage requirements it's something you'd need to provide on your own. Bonus if you can include a marker manager to eliminate markers that are out of bounds of the current viewport.

It might be true in some cases, but if you need to show 3000 clinics, showing just some of them will be more confusing for the user than using clustering. Either way, I'll do it myself if it's not planned for this plugin.

Not sure how that's helpful to a user. At that point, the markers would almost completely obliterate the map
