Cluster colours seem confusing

Sent bei Eirini @fthprojects:

I was thinking that a new user maybe gets a little bit confused with the different colors of the dots - what do they represent, the icons and the green pins

Only after testing it my self couple of times, zooming in and out did I find out what exactly is happening. I don't have a specific suggestion on that - maybe we can explain the symbols- numbers and colors somewhow in the site where the map will be integrated?

• The issue with the green pins for the "other" category is resolved. It was replaced with an icon, that matches the style of the other icons.

• The issue with the different colours for clusters of different sizes is something we have to evaluate.

Many maps have cluster colours like that, where the colours relate to the number of initiatives that are clustered. I share the point, that a one-colour solution could be more intuitive. In the following example, I find it intuitive, that the clusters have the same colour as the POI-Pins: http://www.socioeco.org/polpub_en.html (There is other small unavoidable glitches in this example with how the clusters behave, but that is not avoidable.)

Proposal:
@species could we test to set the clusters in the same colour as the pins, and see, if that is more intuitive?
We could have

• with same colour clusters: https://susy-mapviewer.github.io/transformap-viewer/#4/50.09/29.71
• with different colour clusters, as it currently is: https://susy-partners.github.io/transformap-viewer/#5/46.680/15.205
