Page Summary
-
This code demonstrates marker clustering on a map using the Google Maps JavaScript API.
-
It imports necessary libraries for maps, markers, and marker clustering.
-
Markers are created with alphabetical labels and clustered for better visualization.
-
An info window displays the latitude and longitude when a marker is clicked.
-
The sample can be run locally with Git and Node.js or tried directly in Google Cloud Shell.
