Some questions about: cluster, heatmap, and GeoJSON.

You’re doing a great job with this plugin! Congratulations!

How are you handling support for heat maps? Does it have interoperability to display polylines and such at the same time?

strava example:

Another question: with clustering, I intend to allow support for some items to work outside the cluster and support customization of cluster icons, etc.

How would you handle support for GeoJSON? This is still fundamental for my migration to this plugin, but I can see there have been very valuable efforts, especially regarding heat maps, which I also ended up implementing for my own use.

I should have added it as a list because GeoJSON can receive multiple layers. This works well, but I need to keep recycling, and it works. The problem is that I was forced to include something that isn’t a cluster along with the cluster. Here, I’m unsure how I would proceed without "messing up the project with google maps utils."

I want to contribute, but I’m still a bit lost trying to understand how all this works.

Yes, you can use heatmaps and polylines in same time, dont really understand your question, because heatmap belong to tiles, when polylines are polylines.

Look, I will not use native Google maps utils library for android and ios, instead i will port java code of android utils library to .net. so for now i have already ported heatmaps, and you can find them in the repo, you can use it as regular tile. now i'm porting clustering. so WIP.

I see. Do you think it’s easy to support a listing of GeoJSON as I did in the example I showed you?

[Alex-Dobrynin]

For now im not sure how geojson is working at all. but when i start port it, i will investigate, may be i will need to change architecture of basic android and ios implementations, the project is in progress now, it is not finished and it may be changed. you can use regular map without utils for now. Utils library is written for specific platform, and was not supposed to be used cross-platform, that is why i will not use native bindings, now im porting code to .net to make it completely cross-platform and work same way in both OS. It is not trivial task and will take some time.

Yes, I understand. I’ll wait and take a look at this in the next few days as well.
