JS Tech Talk: Quadtree and Maps using D3

We're BACK! With a special JS Tech-Talk!

On web maps markers are used to represent locations. Zoomed in, this looks fine initially but if two locations are too close together when zoomed out, markers look like they're overlapping. Looks ugly, right? This talk explores the Quadtree approach to search for geometric points in a plane accurately and instantly and how this can be used in clustering map markers.
