<html>Alexey,<br><br>here is an interesting discussion on clustering: http://drupal.org/node/1139088<br><br>Steve<br><br><div><font color="#0000ff" face="Verdana" size="2"></font> </div>

This would be interesting to work on. Is there a special Drupal module for this, or how does this function, in general? We could discuss this at our next web meeting.

If it is an option, a dot would work much better for this type of map at most zoom layers, thus creating a dot map. Example: https://www.e-education.psu.edu/natureofgeoinfo/c3_p16.html, although for Evergreen libraries the relationship will be 1 to 1. A larger icon could be used for higher zoom levels.
