alt Hacker NewsPlease reduce the aggregation of map markers. It's not helpful to group every mine in southwest US in a single point in California that makes it look like they are none in any other state. I see this all the time on maps and it's really frustrating. Aggregate markers are helpful when the individual points are actually overlapping on the map, otherwise they obscure location data.

Strong disagree — aggregate markers were super useful when browsing the map on mobile! Maybe need to add a flag for mobile vs. desktop, but the experience would be a lot worse on mobile without them.
Agreed. Huge annoyance when looking for routes on MountainProject as one example.
True. Clustering on a map is usually a sign that a map was setup by someone that doesn't use it or has no interest in the data.
Strong disagree. Zoom in and the clusters break up. Without the clustering, the map is a total mess when zoomed out.
