Hi @jball,

Hey Lionel,

That’s a good request! I will open a ticket to explore that functionality.

I’m playing with the perspective map in version 8. Since the application I need uses hundreds of markers in a small portion of the map, it makes the application hard to use because of the density of markers. I’m looking for the clustering option that has the leaflet library (the map uses leaflet and OSM) or another clustering option ([GitHub - Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster: Marker Clustering plugin for Leaflet](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster)).  
The manual has no mention of this option, and I assume that it is not implemented. Is there a way to import the clustering library of leaflet or any other way of doing that?

We have an internal ticket to explore this functionality, but no timeline or even guarantee it will be implemented.

That’s good news really, we are still on the lookout for a solution to the map clustering problem

At the moment, the only map component that includes clustering is Perspective's Google Map component. Documentation can be found here: [Perspective - Google Map - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Google+Map)

There are still plans to add clustering to the original (Leaflet) Map component, but priority is low relative to many other feature requests.

Hello,  
This feature would be very nice for projects we build also.  
Currently to do something similar I play with the \>\>enabled\<\< prop. to hide or show different markers as needed. But that's a bit scratchy.
