Overview
A Flutter package that brings animated marker clustering to flutter_map, inspired by Leaflet.markercluster. It efficiently groups nearby markers into clusters, improving map performance and user experience on maps with dense data. The package supports smooth animations when expanding or collapsing clusters and works seamlessly across all major platforms. Ideal for apps displaying large numbers of location-based points such as business listings, delivery locations, or event markers.
