Build Your Map
Step 8: Fine-tune how it behaves
Clustering, distance and map controls that make your map easier to use.
These options are optional, but they make larger maps much easier to use.
Clustering
When many markers are close together, clustering merges them into one bubble with a count. Turn it on in Clustering.
Radius: how close markers must be to merge. Larger numbers make bigger clusters.
Cluster Color and Text Color: the bubble look. The bubble border uses the text color.
Clusters stop merging when visitors zoom in close, so markers are always separate up close.
Auto Distance
Shows how far each location is from a starting point, on the Category List. Use the Primary Location or enter your own coordinates.
