ClusterPlacementType Enumeration

Note

Bing Maps Web Control SDK retirement

Bing Maps Web Control SDK is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Web Control SDK will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Web SDK by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate from Bing Maps Web Control SDK and Migrate Bing Maps Enterprise applications to Azure Maps with GitHub Copilot.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

The Microsoft.Maps.ClusterPlacementType enumeration values can be used to specify how a clustered pushpin should be positioned.

Name	Description
MeanAverage	Mean Average placement calculates the average position of a group of coordinates. This method creates a more realistic representation of the data, however requires more processing power and increases the chances of pushpins overlapping.
FirstLocation	This method is the simplest way to represent a cluster. It places the cluster at the first location in the cluster. This method may not accurately represent the data but requires little processing power.
