I would normally be interested, but I've injured my dominant hand a 
while ago and it's still on the mend. I can only use the keyboard 
somewhat sparingly until it's back to 100%.

That said, there is javascript library which would be perfectly suited 
to the task: http://leafletjs.com/
Together with this plugin: https://github.com/danzel/Leaflet.markercluster

Hope that helps.
