Google Maps Clustering on your Realtor website

Property Websites

12 April 2018

Clustering simplifies data visualization by combining the data which are close to each other on the map in general form.

Working with large amounts of data points in geo applications usually tends to render many markers on maps. This may contradict the usability when markers start to clutter the overview, overlay each other, and in other ways decrease the usability of the map. When a map has too many points to convey a clear meaning, the information needs to be simplified.
Reducing the amount of points on the map can be accomplished by grouping points by certain criteria and displaying with different colors and sizes, icons, placement rules, and more .
The clustering can be dynamic to change depending on amount of markers on the map, and the given zoom level.
