Hi,<br>I had a similar problem. I have over 6000 markers in a page with popups and tried different solutions. Since I wanted a popup for every marker, using WFS was just killing my page. I ended up (with great help from CampToCamp) with a solution of getting the layers as WMS and using a WMS getFeature call on click so that when I click on a marker it queries GeoServer for the features. Of course a small delay sometimes but the speed is quite good overall. I looked into strategy cluster (<a href="http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/strategy-cluster.html">http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/strategy-cluster.html</a>) which seems nice but I am a newbie so I did not get it. But it seems like a very good solution.<br>
Anyway you can take a look at my page (not finished!) with over 6000 markers (dev server for now) <a href="http://naturkart.no/dev/">http://naturkart.no/dev/</a><br><br>/asle benoni<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/6 Jonathan Sawyer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jon@gina.alaska.edu">jon@gina.alaska.edu</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi everyone,<br><br>I have a feature class of points that displays a breadcrumb trail of GPS points for a target. When zoomed out to the full extent of the map, OpenLayers renders 1000+ points in a tiny little area, thus reducing performance of my application. Is there a way I can tell OpenLayers to render just one point for a bunch of points within a given radius of the point? For example, when zoomed out to the full extent, I would rather have 1 to 3 points rendered rather than 1000+, but then be able to see every point applicable when zoomed in.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance for any help.<br><br>Jon<br>
