Rails, Gmaps4rails, geocoder, google map marker clusters strange behaviour

Question

on my search page I have a google map with markers for each 'job'. I have made the map default to zoom level 2, where the markers cluster correctly, but as soon as I pass zoom level 5, clustering stops working. I have searched and haven't found any information on this.

Search page map javascript:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  var mapStyle = [{"featureType":"administrative","elementType":"all","stylers":[{"visibility":"on"},{"lightness":33}]},{"featureType":"landscape","elementType":"all","stylers":[{"color":"#f2e5d4"}]},{"featureType":"poi.park","elementType":"geometry","stylers":[{"color":"#c5dac6"}]},{"featureType":"poi.park","elementType":"labels","stylers":[{"visibility":"on"},{"lightness":20}]},{"featureType":"road","elementType":"all","stylers":[{"lightness":20}]},{"featureType":"road.highway","elementType":"geometry","stylers":[{"color":"#c5c6c6"}]},{"featureType":"road.arterial","elementType":"geometry","stylers":[{"color":"#e4d7c6"}]},{"featureType":"road.local","elementType":"geometry","stylers":[{"color":"#fbfaf7"}]},{"featureType":"water","elementType":"all","stylers":[{"visibility":"on"},{"color":"#acbcc9"}]}];
  var handler = Gmaps.build('Google');
    handler.buildMap({
      provider: {
        styles: mapStyle,
        minZoom: 2,
        maxZoom: 18,
        center: new google.maps.LatLng(20.68177501, -103.3514794)
      },
      internal: {id: 'map'}},
      function(){
      markers = handler.addMarkers(<%=raw @hash.to_json %>);
      handler.bounds.extendWith(markers);
      handler.fitMapToBounds();
    });
  </script>

Jobs controller:

 def index
    if params[:search].present?
    @q = Gig.near(params[:search], 200, :order => 'distance' ).ransack(params[:q])
    @gigs = @q.result(distinct: true)
    @hash = Gmaps4rails.build_markers(@gigs) do |gig, marker|
      marker.lat gig.latitude
      marker.lng gig.longitude
      marker.title gig.title
    end
    else
@q = Gig.ransack(params[:q])
    @gigs = @q.result(distinct: true)
    @hash = Gmaps4rails.build_markers(@gigs) do |gig, marker|
      marker.lat gig.latitude
      marker.lng gig.longitude
      marker.title gig.title
    end
  end
end

Any insight into this would be great, thanks.

Relevant code lives here.

Here is where you can customize the behavior.

So you can adpat the maxZoom level :

var handler = Gmaps.build('Google', { 
  markers: { 
    clusterer: { 
      maxZoom:  8, 
      gridSize: 50 
    }
  }
});
