Limitations

Although any number of pins can be declared in Marble, the total number of pins that will be displayed on the map element is limited to 250 to ensure the performance of the map remains acceptable on all platforms. If you want to display a large number of pins on the map it is recommended that you break up your data into more specific sets and then use multiple maps to show them.

This feature will not function correctly when the device is offline as the map tiles are provided by a third party, requiring an internet connection.
