[DefaultRenderer] Advanced markers cluster position

[vicb]

It looks like advanced marker reference for content is middle/bottom.

That it the bottom(y) / middle(X) will we positioned at lat/lng.

I think aligning the middle of the cluster SVG with the lat/lng would make more sense.

The (legacy) Marker are also probably affected (to be verified):

js-markerclusterer/src/renderer.ts

Lines 166 to 169 in e8eecf4

	icon: {
	url: `data:image/svg+xml;base64,${window.btoa(svg)}`,
	scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(45, 45),
	},

I believe the icon should have a origin - I am not sure if the default bottom/middle as with Advanced markers.

I believe the reason for this is that people generally expect the tip of the marker to sit at the bottom. If it floats in the middle, it becomes difficult to predict where the pin actually visually sits.

OTOH a cluster will expand to multiple pins.

I'll try to do some tests and report

edit: and for ref I got that idea because I found the expansion weird looking while testing this lib

Oops misread this and thought we were talking about the expanded markers not the cluster icons. Agree with you that the cluster icons should float center
