[OpenLayers-Users] Load something like a "custom map"...

[Pedro Baracho]

Well you could use ogc filter to split them in 4 groups.
You could split them manually and load 4 different layers from 4 different
files for example.
And there is also something called Strategy on OL's Vector Layers, that is
an automatic way to crop/reduce the amount of data you are showing.

I can't say what is the best way, because I don't know how your points are
stored.

You don't need a map server, if you are splitting them manually or using
"Strategy" parameter. If you intend to use OGC Filter you will probably need
a OGC-Compliant map server, like Geoserver, for example.

Hope it helps,
Pedro.
