Overlapping markers

Recommended Posts

One issue I'm starting to see crop up are users who geocode based on city name only. This works for them, as they only want their marker to show for a particular city, so putting in just the city name (and state/country if the city is ambiguous) suits them just fine.

 

The problem, then, is when I have 20 listings, all with geocoded locations being the same - Google's decision of where the city center is.

 

Anyone have a good idea of how to resolve this?

 

One thing I'm thinking of is a module that could read the same listing data that the map is seeing and list out the markers on the map with a simple link to cause the detail popup to fire. But that's not going to be easy.

 

Anyone have any better ideas? I have users complaining that their markers are being stomped-on, and telling them, "Hey, just drag it a little bit to get it off of the city center" gets me funny looks (well, virtual funny looks).
