YannR writes "Hello, We are very proud to announce the release of Mapeed, the first plugin for Google Maps which boosts the display and the map rendering for several thousands of markers. What is the Mapeed plugin: - A new easy tool which enables the geo-search of localized data - A powerful and ergonomic interface, able to display up to 50.000 markers on a single map, thanks to the concept of dynamic clustering - An open system, with multiple feeding ways: webservices, API, admin console. Many use cases have been identified: geolocated classifieds (real estate, objects), online directories for companies, … As an example, we have launched the mashup CrunchVision.com = CrunchBase + Mapeed + Google Maps. An easy tool to check what are the tech companies in your area ! The Mapeed plugin is delivered as a SaaS service. Mapeed is online now as a public beta release. The team is located in Rennes, France. Contact: contact@mapeed.com http://www.mapeed.com/" We mentioned another similar clustering offer in the past.

Click2Map Introduces Marker Clusters for Google Maps [+]
Xavier of Click2Map wrote to me about the new Google Maps marker clusters feature on Click2Map. Click2Map offers commercial Google Maps hosting services (including a limited free service). They claim to be the first ones to provide easy marker clustering for Google Maps. From Xavier's email: "We are proud to announce that Click2Map is the first map editor in the mapping space to offer this ultra-convenient feature. With clustering, the problem of markers overlapping each other belongs to the past. We've also made it super easy for map creators to adjust the 'clustering rate' according to their needs."
