ASP.NET Blog·10wPin Clustering in .NET MAUI Maps
NET MAUI 11 Preview 2 introduces pin clustering for the Map control on Android and iOS/Mac Catalyst. A single property `IsClusteringEnabled="True"` activates automatic grouping of nearby pins into cluster markers with count badges. Pins can be assigned a `ClusteringIdentifier` to form independent clusters by category (e.g., coffee shops vs. parks). A `ClusterClicked` event provides access to the pins in a cluster, their geographic center, and the ability to suppress default zoom behavior. On Android, a custom grid-based algorithm handles clustering; on iOS/Mac Catalyst, native MapKit `MKClusterAnnotation` support is used. The feature is available in .NET 11 Preview 2 with sample code in the maui-samples repository.
