Problem of multiple marker on same position in Google Map API

Question

I am using google map in my application. I have thousands of markers on my map.

I can display them well on map. I am using MySQL as my database in php.

But I have a problem when there are more than one location on the same position. It displays only one marker for all the locations(for same position).

In API, there is no solution for this. Can anyone help me for that ?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

It sounds like you are placing one marker directly on top of another. Are you using lat/long coordinates? If so, you could adjust the duplicate locations by randomly adding or subtracting a (very) small value from the duplicate lat/long. Kinda hacky, but i'm not sure how else you could handle this.

Answer 2

For lat/lon appearing at the same place when zoomed out, but actually different, look at the clustering example at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/overlays.html#Marker_Manager For exactly the same position, you can't do anything but change one's position slightly.

Answer 3

Ok I have done it. Soon I will place the url for that.
