I have a problem, because sometimes on my GeoJSON layer plotted into the Leaflet map more than 1 placemarks has been assigned to one exact location (by postcode).

The problem is, that only one of them is visible, whereas there is at least 3-4 another ones.

For example in Google Earth the problem is solved like this: when you hover one placemark, then you can see another ones hidden under the same location, as per in the picture below:

In leaflet this situation not occur and I see only 1 placemark only instead.

I was searching some stuff regarding to this problem and found a following examples:

http://ivansanchez.github.io/Leaflet.Marker.Stack/demos/color_ramps.html

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50813139/leaflet-map-with-multiple-marker-on-exact-same-position

but they don't really solve this problem

In turn, the links below:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22168558/multiple-marker-on-exact-same-position-on-a-leaflet-map/22173475

they are focused on the markercluster, which I don't need.

My situation looks like this:

where as you can see (after the onclick marker trigger) you see 2 jobs on the same location, whereas only 1 appear (always the same in addition).

Could you give me some hint, what should I tweak in the code, to make it pretty much the same, as it's in Google Earth?

    You say that you don't need markercluster - why are you so sure of that? IMO it's the easiest way to display custom symbols (e.g. concatenating IDs) from overlapping data. See also leafletjs.com/plugins.html#clusteringdecluttering for completeness. – IvanSanchez Nov 6 '19 at 15:36
  • I would rather to achieve the effect like here: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/249743/… where is something like spiderfy effect in the image attached. How can I achieve it? – MKR Nov 6 '19 at 16:10
  • The answer to that is "with MarkerCluster". – IvanSanchez Nov 6 '19 at 16:16
  • I know, but the image shown with this circle-looking markers is good for me and I would like to achieve that instead of marker cluster. Is that possible? – MKR Nov 6 '19 at 16:31

    It's possible, but I bet that it'll take several times more effort, time and custom code than just using MarkerCluster. (i.e. rolling out your own cluster-like algorithm to detect data points close enough to each other and do a custom spiderify-like display). Also, note that the question you linked to is about MarkerCluster. – IvanSanchez Nov 6 '19 at 18:37

Finally I used leaflet-markercluster plugin and implemented into my GeoJSON layers as per the example below:
