Closed BenSturmfels closed 12 months ago

BenSturmfels commented 1 year ago

We've found that marker clustering is very useful when there are lots of markers on the map.

This is the Leaflet plugin used: https://www.npmjs.com/package/leaflet.markercluster

Oof, I have a [perhaps unreasonable] visceral aversion to clustering by default on maps. But you're right, it would be useful in many cases. I think I'd be open to this if it were something that could be optionally enabled in the configuration.

Thanks, I completely understand and really just threw this one in in case it was of interest. Let's park it for now and if I get time I'll come back and make it configurable.
