But, from watching a bunch of support requests fly by and checking out how I and others usually style maps, I'm starting to think that `allow-overlap: true` is the expected behavior, and what it does is not well-known when it comes to markers.\r\n\r\nFor labels, it makes sense: labels are presentational and usually non-overlapped on other maps. But for markers, people assume that Mapnik is doing clustering, because not showing data by default is unusual.\r\n\r\nI'm unaware of other ramifications of this: maybe there are performance problems with displaying everything by default?","assignee":null,"id":2368272,"number":968,"pull_request":{"patch_url":null,"html_url":null,"diff_url":null},"labels":[],"title":"Allow-overlap default true","closed_at":null,"html_url":"https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/968","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mapnik/mapnik/issues/968","milestone":null},"action":"created","comment":{"created_at":"2011-11-30T02:47:25Z","updated_at":"2011-11-30T02:47:25Z","user":{"gravatar_id":"69a180136f3c237769452a4af0bbb9a1","id":32314,"url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmcw","login":"tmcw","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69a180136f3c237769452a4af0bbb9a1?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png"},"body":"At least one good thing is that by setting `maker-allow-overlap:true;` in the automatically-added styles, we can punt on this indefinitely.","id":2954201,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mapnik/mapnik/issues/comments/2954201"}}
