Mario,

There is no MarkerCluster in the V3 Maps API. It is a 3rd party library. As such, neither GWT V3 library (GWT-Maps-V3-API or GWT-Google-Maps-V3) has this feature since it is not part of the API.

You'll need to wrap that library in a JSNI implementation. You said it is not working for you right now. What have you tried implementing so far?

Sincerely,

Joseph

Thank you Joseph!

I'm trying to implement Markercluster on my map using JSNI (my project is in GWT with MVC pattern and I am using gwt-google-maps-v3).

What do you think is better for my project ?:

- keep gwt-google-maps-v3 + MarkerCluster JavaScript library (JSNI interaction)

or

- Google Maps Javascript API V3 + MarkerCluster JavaScript library.

Joseph thank you very much!

Since I have not delved into the minutiae of the interactions between these two libraries, can you supply an example of where you're failing when you say you "cannot implement" them?

Ideally the JSNI approach using your GWT GMaps library of choice and JSNI on the RichMarker where needed should be able to do the trick, but there may well be some hiccups.
