Posted by Xiaoxi Wu, Community Developer Hi, I'm Xiaoxi (Frank) Wu. I'm a software engineer working for Beyondsoft in Beijing China, where I'm currently working on Maps API applications. While I was learning the Google Maps API, I got a lot of help from the forum and the open-source library, so I've decided to give back to the community with some of my own code.
The first library that I'm releasing is MarkerClusterer. Once, a friend of mine encountered a problem with his application. Using the API, he developed a map and added thousands of markers on the map, and saw that it made his map un-usably slow. It's easy to use - just add your markers to an array, pass that and your map into the MarkerClusterer, and it'll take care of the rest. Var markers = []; for (var i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { var latlng = new GLatLng(data.photos[i].latitude, data.photos[i].longitude); var marker = new GMarker(latlng); markers.push(marker); } var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers); Locr - locate your photos.

Where it’s at Photos from flickr.com (“almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world”) are often tagged with information that can be used to make educated guesses about their locations in the world.
Mappr uses this data, which is provided by Flickr users and made available via the Flickr API, to place their images on a map. Images in Alaska Starting late 2004, we began collecting images from Flickr and comparing them against a U.S. Mappr was built to explore the idea of a collaborative mapped photo space, without having to wait for cameras to come with automatic GPS locators in them. Mappr has been featured in publications such as Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, and Peter Morville’s recent book, Ambient Findability.
Note: As of 2007, Mappr is no longer processing images from flickr. Images on Flickr tagged with “route 66” Images tagged with “postcard”
