Group Pins at same Location #663

Closed Mojo90 closed 8 years ago

Mojo90 commented 9 years ago

I have a future/feature Request. Is there a way to easily group Markes at the same location? And if you zoom out und much pins are shown group them as well as zooming out and if you zoom in again they get respectively ungrouped. Is this possible? An example would be http://ban.jo I already implemented this on native iOS Code for Apple Maps approx 2 years ago and now interested to have this for this maps plugin on Android and iOS. I would contribute to iOS side if possible...

Marker Clustering is planned for a year. Actually we had a funding, but masashi dropped the development. Don't know what happened to the funded money, but seems like it's gone.

Acutally, android development was nearly ready, but I think it should be done again from scratch.

Google ships a utility for that (android only) I'm not experienced enough, but I would love to see that someone built this into our plugin:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/utility/marker-clustering

There are some Google Maps SDK for iOS Clustering Tools outthere, someone need just to integrate this.

Are you interessed mojo?

Fork Plugin, Add <framework src="com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:+" /> into the plugin.xml - and than, someone could start building the marker cluster feature with dead simple options.

Yep I am interested. As mentioned already I wrote own methods for native iOS and thus would rather support iOS side. But could have a look at Clustering tools and I think is not so rocket science as 3 years ago there I had to investigate very deep but worked very well in the end :D And when iOS works and nobody else will takeover Android I can also have a look at Android side. I have to push an update and thus will be busy till end of next week I think but then I'll look at it :)

I've found an experienced android and iOS developer, which I'm going to pay myself for the clustering feature. I will also start a funding on this soon. I guess you don't need to dig into this anymore @Mojo90

I will release it public afterwards.
