Markers over one another

Post by tmurray »

Hi, I have some markers which are very close to one another. When viewing the map some of the markers are covering other markers unless you zoom in very close. Is there a way to have the markers display when you hover over them? I have seen on other google maps a feature where you hover over a particular marker and 4 or 5 other markers balloon out from that point so you can select any of them.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi, I don't know such feature in Google Maps, I will take a look at it, if there is such possibility.

I may have seen it only google earth, not on google maps!
Is there anything that can be done to make them show up from behind one another?

I don't know how to add markers, but from reading through the forum it sounds too complicated for me but, maybe a simple solution to my problem would be to have a selection of modified markers which go out in different directions.
For example, if a marker was covered over by another I could select another marker which is identical to the default one except they are rotated at various angles to allow several markers to show at the same time.
Thanks again

Just go to Phoca Maps - Markers - add new: click on map to the point where you want and the marker will be set. Save this marker and this is all.
