## Maps 1.6 added the ability to display multiple maps as a "cluster"; a single icon showing the number of markers in the area.

 In this article, you will learn how to enable and configure marker clustering for your View.

## Where there are multiple markers, they will be clustered based on your settings.

## When editing your View, click on the Maps tab of the View Settings box

## Scroll to the bottom of the Map settings and check the Marker Clustering checkbox

## Scroll down some more and set the Clustering Max Zoom

*To better understand what impacts this setting has,*[check out this example page](https://googlemaps.github.io/js-marker-clusterer/examples/advanced_example.html) and change the "Max zoom level" setting, then click the "Refresh Map" button.

## The Max Zoom Level setting prevents showing clusters when zoomed in past a certain level

*If you want to not show clusters when zoomed in close on a city, set a higher number. If you want to show clusters even when zoomed all the way in, set a higher number*
 **This map is zoomed in at level 6,** with the Max Zoom set to level 16.

## Max Zoom Level 5

*When we change the Max Zoom to level 5, because we are zoomed in at level 6, the clusters no longer appear*

## Here are what the different zoom levels look like.

 This may help you visualize your cluster setting.
