We made a minor change to how the map works this week. Now, when you're zoomed out to the point that it would be impractical to show all the markers, the map shows *clusters* of hosts. If you click on a cluster, you automatically zoom to see all the hosts in the location of the cluster. In addition, when there are two or more hosts at the exact same location, a red marker with the number of hosts is shown, instead of the simple red marker.
There were a few other minor improvements - we hope you like them.
Here's a visual explanation:
What else to say, visually super clear, nice work!

Looks good and clean!
My only concern is I can't find the scale/distance markings.
It's not super-critical, but sometimes seeing scale (like 1 inch = 20 miles) helps in route planning.
Is there a way to see the scales that I am not aware of?
Thanks
Thanks - We'll try to figure that out. Tracking this request at https://github.com/rfay/Warmshowers.org/issues/260
I think it must be a non-default feature in the Google Maps API v3.

The scale on the map has been added back in.
Thanks for noticing that!

That is really nice. Colored coded and numbered. Thanks.
