The problem: getting lots and lots of points onto Google Maps is a pain to do right.
The solution: HiveMaps. An open source JavaScript framework that makes it really easy to display thousands of data points on Google Maps.
HiveMaps currently supports marker clustering, back button, listing points in view, embedding, geocoding, searching, and handling of overlapping markers. HiveMaps was developed and is actively maintained by Joe Johnston of Social Hive.
Contact us if you need help in implementing maps on your site. We are especially looking for clients and partners to help build out additional features needed by the NGO community.
