For those who want to clustering the markers (when you have too much markers to display), I'm sharing with you the small changes I've performed.


* Download file markerclusterer_compiled.js from http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer
/src/markerclusterer_compiled.js

* Upload in folder "clientscript"

* In CP, Styles & Templates, search for "dcMembermap_js" template in your theme, and open it.
Note: if you are using several themes, this should be performed for each of your style.

* Search for

<script src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/dcMembermap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

* Just after add

<script src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/markerclusterer_compiled.js" type="text/javascript">

* Open file dcMembermap.js from folder "clientscript"

* Search this block

// Parse through the given points and show the map
    var point, marker;
    for (i in points) {
        point = points[i];
        addMarker(point);
        
        if (point.userid == this_user.userid) my_point = point;
        
        if (search_type == "userid" && point.userid == search) {
            search_hit = point;
        }
        if (search_type == "username" && point.name.toLowerCase() == search.toLowerCase()) {
            search_hit = point;
        }
    }

* Just after, add

// clustering markers options
	var mcOptions = {gridSize: 50, maxZoom: 15};
	var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers, mcOptions);

Note: You may adapt the option values for your needs

* Search for

function addMarker(point) {

* At the end of the function (just before the closing bracket }), add

	// clustering markers
	markers.push(point.marker);

* Save and reupload the file

Of course, can be still improved ... especially using ajax to load the markers (other step) ;-)
