AusStage uses icons to display information on the map. There are different icons for contributors, organisations, venues and events. When two or more icons are at the same location, they are grouped together in a row above a single marker.
The colour of an icon and the number beneath indicate how many records an icon represents. When an individual contributor or organisation is added to the map, an individual colour is assigned to its icon. When an icon on the map represents two or more contributors, organisations, venues or events, colour shades from light to dark indicates how many.
When a contributor or organisation is added to a map, one of a sequence of 48 colours will be assigned to that record. This individual colour will be used when there is only one organisation or contributor associated with the location.
The iconography and colours used in AusStage maps is as follows:

Change your view of the map by using the pan and zoom controls on the map. You can also change views by clicking on one of the pre-set views for country, state and capital cities.
Markers are clustered together to make the map easier to read. When two or more markers are close to each other, they may be replaced by a gray icon representing a cluster. The number indicates how many markers are clustered together.
Click on a cluster to zoom in and reveal the individual markers contained in the cluster. Clustering is automatically enabled when there are 100 or more markers on the map.
Simple maps with less than 100 markers may be saved as a bookmark in your browser. The bookmark will retrieve the latest data from AusStage each time you reload your map.
Maps may be downloaded for viewing in other map software such as Google Earth. Map files are formatted in Keyhole Markup Language (KML).
The legend lists the contributors, organisations, venues and events on the map. From the legend, you can show and hide icons, and delete icons from the map. Clicking on a venue or contributor in the legend will reveal the icon on the map.
If you reset the map, all icons will be deleted, the legend will be emptied and the map will be re-centered. Your search history will remain available on the Search tab.
Clustering is automatically enabled when markers are added to the map (including hidden markers). You currently have markers added to the map. To disable clustering, remove some markers from the map and try again. If you feel the limit is too low, please contact us.
