How to know zoom level to display a marker inside google marker cluster -

well, in title :

• i have thousands of markers google marker cluster (not google marker cluster plus : let me know if help)
• everything works perfectly

but

• when fire event relative particular marker, i'd display marker alone (not within cluster anymore).
• since spacial repartition of markers not homogeneous : @ place zoom level of 9 display alone @ place, i'll have set zoom level 15.

so

• the ultimate question : giving particular maker, how "query" marker cluster know :
  1. perhaps distance closest maker (giving should able calculate corresponding zoom level)
  2. any other helpful information should still miss @ time ...

some code ;)

some explanations :

firstly code highly commeted read it

secondly :

• the first function getmapscale has been found on internet

• before use functions need set marker identifier (here : marker.vigneronid) before doing push in marker cluster

• i fisrt iteration in cluster find marker , distance closest marker (in meter)

• if don't find marker, means it's not in cluster second iteration on markers managed marker cluster , distance closest marker (in meter)

• then calculate gridsize in meter (thanks function getmapscale transforms pixels in meters)

• knowing each zoom level factor 2 previous zoom level, compute distance between closest marker , cluster grid size know how many zooms levels can add or substract current zoom level

yeah !
