Map view: switch from hexagons to individual occurrences at high zoom level #17

The map currently shows occurrences aggregated over an hexagon grid. That works great when they're many occurrences on the map.

I was wondering if we should tweak this system so at high zoom levels (i.e. neighbourhood) it would automatically switch to a more classic "one point per occurrence" view.

Anyu opinion?

Personally I absolutely agree with your observation. Users will indeed need to see some details about each single observation (e.g. timestamp, dataset provenance, validation status, ...). I will write a new issue about it.

The basics are in place with 8c5a74da.

Missing tests!! (at least the backend: single observation tile service)
