When you have a lot of locations close together, the map can get crowded with overlapping pins. Marker clusters solve this by grouping nearby markers into a single numbered circle. Click the cluster to zoom in and see individual locations.
Enabling clusters
Go to Map Settings > Marker Clusters, switch on Group nearby pins into one bubble, and save.
The preview underneath shows what your visitors will see, in your own colours, before you save anything.
Clusters work the same way on both Google Maps and Mapbox.
The cluster colour
Bubbles are drawn in your widget's primary colour, so they match the rest of your locator automatically. There's nothing separate to set.
To change it, go to Store Locator Settings > Primary Color. Everything that uses your accent colour, clusters included, follows it.
How clusters work
Clusters are automatic. You don't need to configure which locations get clustered. The map groups them based on zoom level and how close they are to each other.
Zoomed out: Many locations merge into clusters showing a count (e.g. "24")
Zoomed in: Clusters break apart into individual markers
Click a cluster: The map zooms in to show the individual locations inside it
There's no minimum number of locations required. Even 2 overlapping markers can form a cluster.
Clusters not working?
If you enabled clusters but nothing changed:
Make sure you saved the settings after switching clusters on
Try a hard refresh on your website (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
Open your store locator in an incognito window to rule out caching
Zoom out on the map. Clusters only appear when markers are close enough to overlap at the current zoom level.
