Location Clustering

Quick Answer

When many locations are close together, Zeus.ai can group them into clusters that show a count. Smart Clustering is controlled from the Sites tab (store icon in the chat bar).

What Clustering Does

Clustering helps by:

• combining nearby markers
• showing a count instead of overlapping pins
• reducing visual clutter
• improving map performance when many locations are visible

How To Open Clustering Controls

1. Click the Sites button (store icon 🏪) in the chat bar
2. Find the Sites section
3. Use the Smart Clustering control

Smart Clustering Toggle

Setting	Effect
ON	Nearby locations are grouped into clusters
OFF	Individual markers stay separate

Important:

• Smart Clustering requires at least 10 visible points to turn on
• If clustering is off and you have fewer than 10 points, the toggle shows a warning and enabling is blocked
• If clustering is already on, you can still turn it off even with fewer than 10 points

Cluster Radius

When clustering is enabled, Zeus.ai shows a Cluster Radius slider.

• Smaller radius = more separate clusters
• Larger radius = more aggressive grouping
• The current radius is shown in pixels
• Changes apply immediately

How Clusters Behave

Zoomed Out

• more locations combine into clusters
• large groups are easier to scan

Zooming In

• clusters break apart into smaller groups
• more individual markers appear

High Detail View

• clusters reduce or disappear
• individual locations become easier to inspect

When To Use Clustering

• large projects with many locations
• dense urban areas
• cluttered views with overlapping markers
• maps that feel heavy or noisy

When To Reduce Or Disable Clustering

• when you need individual pin placement for screenshots
• when inspecting a small neighborhood closely
• when only a small number of locations are visible

Tips

• Start with the default radius, then adjust if the grouping feels too broad or too tight
• Use filters first, then clustering, when you want a smaller and more relevant result set
• Zoom in after clicking clusters to move from overview to detail

Troubleshooting

Clusters Not Showing

• Make sure Smart Clustering is on
• Check whether you have at least 10 visible points
• Zoom out if you are already very close in

Too Many Points Still Visible

• Increase the cluster radius
• Zoom out slightly
• Reduce competing layers or filters that make the map noisy

Need Individual Pins

• Zoom in
• Lower the cluster radius
• Turn clustering off temporarily
