[Resolved] Force spiderfy open for markers on map view

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I've set up spiderfy on on my map which works nicely when clicked, can I force it to default to the spiderfy layout from the start? Otherwise users aren't going to know that there are multiple markers at one address.

Solution:

The client slightly adjusts some markers so they aren't in exactly the same location & use clustering.

I've set up spiderfy on on my map which works nicely when clicked (see screenshot).

My question is: can I force it to default to the spiderfy layout from the start? Otherwise users aren't going to know that there are multiple markers at one address.

Hi,

There isn't such an exact feature, but you can try these:
1) turn off the "cluster" attribute of map shortcode [wpv-map-render]
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps-shortcodes/#wpv-map-render
cluster. Optional, defaults to off . Can be on or off . When set to on, markers close enough based on some rules will be rendered as a cluster.

2) Or you can increase the "cluster_max_zoom" value
cluster_max_zoom. Optional, defaults to empty. When cluster is set to on , this attribute sets the minimum zoom level that dissolves clusters into individual markers again.

Apparently it is not possible- see below: hidden link

My solution will be to just slightly adjust some markers so they aren't in exactly the same location & use clustering. Thanks for taking a look.
