Hi Nathan,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might want to consider the Cluster Strategy.
<div>this strategy is designed to cluster points who are close together. This way you can label the cluster instead of the individual points on higher zoom levels</div>

<br>
OpenLayers does not do any label collision management. If you want<br>
nice labels, you might want to consider rendering your data on a<br>
server (WMS, e.g. GeoServer or MapServer).<br>

marker, and placing labels for other types of units below the marker, but<br>
the labels end up overlapping anyway as the units move around.<br>

Is there any kind of label collision avoidance I can convince OL to do for<br>
me? Any other easy solutions?<br>
