# Location Display Component Implementation

## Overview
Implementation of the LocationDisplayComponent for displaying multiple location markers with clustering support, info windows, and custom marker icons. This component will provide a read-only map view optimized for displaying multiple locations efficiently.

## Requirements

### 1. Map Display
- Multiple marker support
- Viewport management
- Zoom controls
- Mobile responsiveness
- Performance optimization
- Custom map controls

### 2. Marker Clustering
- Dynamic marker clustering
- Cluster size indicators
- Zoom-based clustering
- Custom cluster styling
- Cluster click behavior
- Performance optimization

### 3. Info Windows
- Custom info window design
- Dynamic content loading
- Multiple info window management
- Mobile-friendly layout
- Event handling
- Close behavior

### 4. Custom Markers
- Icon customization
- Category-based styling
- Size management
- Retina display support
- Hover states
- Active states

## Implementation Plan

### 1. Component Structure
```php
class LocationDisplayComponent extends Component
{
    // Map Configuration
    public array $markers = [];
    public bool $showClusters = true;
    public int $clusterRadius = 50;
    public int $defaultZoom = 13;
    public ?array $bounds = null;

    // Display Settings
    public bool $showInfoWindow = false;
    public ?array $activeMarker = null;
    public array $customMarkers = [];
    public array $markerCategories = [];

    // State Management
    public bool $isLoading = true;
    public ?string $error = null;
    public array $visibleMarkers = [];
}
```

### 2. Features
- Dynamic marker loading
- Lazy cluster calculation
- Viewport-based updates
- Event delegation
- Cache management
- Error recovery

### 3. User Interface
- Map container
- Cluster indicators
- Info windows
- Custom controls
- Loading states
- Error messages
