MarkerManager - any news?

[laju...@googlemail.com]

I'm working on an application that needs to display a lot of markers.
I'm talking about numbers with 5 or 6 digits. The application is a
webinterface for a software that manages traffic counts. Currently i'm
trying to display about 11000 detectors that count the cars on the
streets of Oregon. Each detector is represented by one marker.

I'm clustering the markers, but at certain zoom-levels i want to show
all markers. That means, that i have to use some kind of MarkerManager
like the one that has been purged from gwt-google-apis:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/issues/detail?id=117&can=1&q=markermanager

Is someone working on this?

Someone implemented it in Java and it works, but why reimplementing it
when the functionality is there? It's a 1:1 copy of the JS-Code. AFAIK
the Java code will end up as JavaScript anyways, right?

My Workaround for now:
I used the code from the old MarkerManager (gwt-google-apis, svn r302)
to wrap the new MarkerManager (gmaps-utity-library) by changing the
constructor in MarkerManagerImpl.java from $wnd.GMarkerManager to
$wnd.MarkerManager.
Don't forget to add a script tag referencing the markermanager.js from
gmaps-utility-library to your *.gwt.xml file!

It works just fine in web mode when using the basic functions, but i
have problems starting my application in hosted mode.

Hmmm, i assume that there hasn't been an improvement regarding this
problem with the new release.

I was hoping someone in the community might contribute some kind of binding to the new open source marker manager.  From the Maps API standpoint, the status is the same - it is planned to be phased out.

Hi lajuette,

Due to the fact that the MarkerManager has been deprecated in the Google Maps API proper, we have similarly deprecated and discontinued support for the MarkerManager in the GALGWT Google Maps library (see Issue #117 below). Unfortunately, there aren't any plans to add MarkerManager functionality to GALGWT as of yet. I would suggest creating a new issue requesting the feature to bring more attention to it and see if it's something other developers are needing as well.

Issue #117
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/issues/detail?id=117

It would be awesome if someone were to contribute bindings over the open source MarkerManager, though. I believe the implementation GWTMarkerManager implementation is doing just that. I'll try getting in touch with ebessette to see if that is actually the case, and if it's something we could add to the GALGWT Google Maps library.

Hope that helps,
