  • For allotted time (minutes) – the number of minutes, during which you can add the maximum number of markers. For example, during three minutes you can add only two markers at the map.

After the right amount of time will pass – you can add next two markers, etc.

Important! If map and form for add markers at this map are placed on one page – this page will be overload after marker adding.
