Looks like the iphone killed another device on my gadget list. G-Map has been...

When markers are too close to each other they get grouped or clustered into a single icon. Clustered markers are the big red ones. Clicking a clustered icon will zoom you in a few levels. The individual pindrops are now blue. I also changed the URl to http://pindrop.husar.us. The...
