Alternatives to MarkerClustererPlus, Outdated Repo

[ademidun]

First, I'd like to thank @mahnunchik for creating this package. It's been really useful to those of us using Marker Clusters, especially in react-google-maps.

This package hasn't been updated since: Apr 1, 2015, over 4 years ago and counting.

Are there any alternatives to MarkerClustererPlus?

Or, has anyone forked this repo to take advantage of further optimizations, etc. or any good resources where we can learn to optimize this ourself?

Thanks

Google Maps have a supported Marker Cluster lib at: https://github.com/googlemaps/js-markerclusterer
It's referenced in the Google Maps Javascript documentation, so is the obvious migration target.

However, when I tried migrating to it (early 2022), it didn't yet have the performance of this lib. I left them some feedback, they said they were working on it.

So, even though it hasn't been updated for some years, am still using this lib. Respect to it's developer!

PS Please un-hide the doco. Had to hunt thru the source for the minimumClusterSize option, which was exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!

Tested the google repo at the current (Mar'24) v2.5.3. This lib is much faster to first display the page.

So, even though it hasn't been updated for some (more) years, am still using this lib. (Even more) respect to it's developer!

One can hope the developer might port it to Google's new "Advanced Markers" :)
