Hello,
I'm using a static google map, but really this problem could apply to any maps project. I want to divide a map into multiple quadrants (of say 50x50 pixels) and label the columns as A, B, C.... and the rows as 1, 2, 3...
Next I plan to do something like,
1) Find the markers which are the farthest north, east, south, and west
2) Use that info to to define the bounding boxes of each row and column box
3) Classify each marker by its row and column (Example Marker 1 = [A,2])
A few requirements,
I don't know the zoom level because I let Google set the zoom level appropriately for me and I would rather not use an algorithm that is dependent on a zoom level. I do however know the locations of all of the markers that are shown on the map.
Here is an example of a map that I would like to classify the markers for,

I found these which look like a good start,
Resource 1, Resource 2
But I think I'm still in need of some help getting started. Can anyone help write out some pseudo code or post a few more resources? I'm kind of in a rut at the moment.
Thanks! Much appreciated of any help!
