Hi, I'm trying to cluster my markers on Google Maps API v3.
I've taken the example from this page: and try to combine it with the simple marker cluster example from that page.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the cluster just won't work.
Been spending hours now, when I know it's something so simple.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
