What is the total amount of markers that can be created?

Hello.

The total number of markers is not limited.
But with a million markers it will work VERY slow.

You need to make your own marker manager, and only use the markers that you really need right now.

Hey Alex.

so I finally got around to test it. and it seems that 10,000 markers is way way way to much.

So i was thinking how would we solve this problem? The only thing that came to mind was maybe clustering them, i don't know what do you think?

something like: For every maker in a specify area make a big marker, then remove them for the map and then according to zoom level generate them again?

I could really use your thoughts on this.

Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards

Oh thank you so much. I'm quickly going to play with it and give you an update. really appreciate the support.

1. What version of Online Maps are you using?
If you use Online Maps v2.3, then update to the latest beta version.
Online Maps v2.4 has a huge code optimization.

2. What control do you use?
I tested it using tileset.
For "drawing to texture" it will not work, because it will use a lot of memory.

3. At what zoom level you tested?
Of course when zoom level = 3, will work slowly.
But zoom level = 7+ work fast. I have a 60-80 fps, for zoom level = 7.

oh, how can i get the beta from you? must i pm my invoice number?

ohhhh coooool. very cool!

thanks signing up right now.

You are using an incorrect control.
For "target - tileset" you need to use a tileset control.

No, it's two different modes. You can not combine it.

Tileset much faster and has many additional features.
«Drawing to texture» - is a universal mode. You can show the map anywhere (almost).

If you configure the scene and the camera, Tileset can look like UIImage.

Finally tested with your recommend settings and it works perfectly, except for one thing. when i change the count to another number except for 1 million, like 3. i receive the following errors:

ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: collection
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[OnlineMapsMarker].CheckCollection (IEnumerable`1 collection) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Collections.Generic/List.cs:435)
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[OnlineMapsMarker].AddRange (IEnumerable`1 collection) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Collections.Generic/List.cs:136)
OneMillionMarkers.UpdateMarkers () (at Assets/OneMillionMarkers.cs:86)
OneMillionMarkers.Start () (at Assets/OneMillionMarkers.cs:59)

The issue here is that we won't have a million markers right at the launch of our app. instead they will build up to a million. meaning as our app installs increase so will our marker count. How can we fix this?

could i also maybe ask for comments on the code as I'm finding it difficult to understand whats happening.

Hey Alex

Thanks that did the trick.

still not entirely sure how it all works exactly but it works. thank you so much.

kind Regards

sorry here is the code that generates the marker. its basically the replacement of the GenerateMarkers() function in the example given.

if (x.Status == AzureServicesForUnity.CallBackResult.Success)
{
    foreach (var userDataObj in x.Result.results)
    {
        //Debug.Log(string.Format("ID is {0},score is {1}", item.id, item.hwsh_user_popular ));
        marker = map.AddMarker(new Vector2(userDataObj.hwsh_user_loc_geox, userDataObj.hwsh_user_loc_geoy), null, userDataObj.fb_user_name);
        // Create new XML and store it in customData.
        OnlineMapsXML customXML = new OnlineMapsXML("MarkerData");
        customXML.Create("UserName", userDataObj.fb_user_name);
        customXML.Create("UserFBID", userDataObj.fb_user_id);
        customXML.Create("UserDBID", userDataObj.id);
        customXML.Create("PostID", userDataObj.fb_user_post_id);
        customXML.Create("UserPopularity", userDataObj.hwsh_user_popular);
        customXML.Create("UserRank", myRank);
        marker.customData = customXML;
        MakeToolTips();


        marker.Init();
        int my = (int) (( userDataObj.hwsh_user_loc_geoy + 90) / 10); ///lat
        int mx = (int) (( userDataObj.hwsh_user_loc_geox + 180) / 10); //long

        int index = mx * 18 + my;

        if (markers[index] == null) markers[index] = new List<OnlineMapsMarker>(32);
        else if (markers[index].Count == markers[index].Capacity) markers[index].Capacity += 32;
        markers[index].Add(marker);

        TotalX += 1;
        myRank += 1;
    }
    if (includeTotalCount)
    {
        Debug.Log(string.Format("Brought {0} rows out of {1}", TotalX, x.Result.count));
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log(string.Format("Brought {0} rows", x.Result.results.Count()));
    }
}
