Maps default display as Markers not Clusters

Julkaisupäivä: Sep 8, 2026

By default, Salesforce Maps marker layers render in Marker mode, then switch to Cluster mode once the number of points passes a set threshold. To make sure your Salesforce Maps marker layers always display as individual markers and never cluster together, do one of the following:

  • Set the Default Render Mode to Markers and set the Cluster Threshold to a higher value.
  • Or set the Default Render Mode to Scatter.

Keep in mind that showing every point individually can make your map load more slowly, since Salesforce Maps has to render a lot of points at once. That is why the default Render Mode is Markers, which clusters at higher volumes. Scatter mode ignores the Cluster Threshold entirely and always renders individual points.

Ratkaisu

This article explains why Salesforce Maps marker layers sometimes display as clusters instead of individual markers, and how to change the Render Mode and Cluster Threshold to control that behavior.

Marker Layer Render Modes

Salesforce Maps has several display options, called Render Modes, for showing data in your marker layers. By default, marker layers render in Marker mode on desktop, but switch to Cluster mode after a certain threshold. As long as the total number of markers is higher than the Cluster Threshold, they always display as clusters. You can select a different Render Mode to override those defaults.

  • Markers (default): Shows individual points, but clusters together if the count is above the threshold.
  • Clusters: Groups points together. Loads quickly.
  • Scatter: Never clusters.
  • Heatmap: Shows the concentration of data points.

Set the Default Render Mode on a Marker Layer

Change the default marker layer display mode like this:

  1. Edit the marker layer.
  2. Select the Display Options tab.
  3. Select the Advanced Options dropdown.
  4. Change Default Render Mode to your new choice.
  5. Click Save.

Edit the Cluster Threshold

There is another setting that overrides the Default Render Mode in the global Salesforce Maps configuration. Only a knowledgeable Salesforce administrator should adjust this setting. You can set a higher Cluster Threshold to see markers in Marker mode without clustering.

  1. Go to Setup | Installed Packages | Salesforce Maps Configuration.
  2. Select the Advanced tab, then click the Markers tab.
  3. Change the Marker Cluster Threshold to a higher value.
  4. Save your new settings.
