Hi Torstein,

do you have new information? Maybe a feature list?

Cheers
Jonny

@Simon: The current plan is to finish this by the end of 2013.

@Jaques: Yes, you can share them with us and we can have a look at it if it's not too complicated.

Most of the SVG maps I tried do not show up. Can I send them to you so that you have an idea of where this goes wrong?

Any idea when this would be available?
I would definitely buy this product

Yes of course, the data is separated from the map itself. You can plug in any kind of data.

Hi ,

I am looking for this kind of map. It's so wonderful. However, I just need the map without any description about the population. Is it possible for you to provide one ?

It looks like map plugin can't work with svg and coordinates as 7.9e-4. for example file http://download7.files.attachmail.ru/B74215A45B7A445ABB8FD51F0E56DCF7/e3e43cf72adf4d7ede9aa660a8111b04/Reg_R_3_updated.svg parsed well, but doesn't show map

Hi! Thanks for that cool plugin! It's usefull and we're looking forward to HighMaps)
and there is some problem. With js sources from http://github.highcharts.com everythings works fine, but with js from my local server I have some issues.
in example http://www.highcharts.com/studies/world-map.htm world map shows, but hoover with terr info doesn't work. looks like interfiles dependences..

Can I add series with type 'column' to my map chart with this script? I added some pie charts on my maps, but I need some column chart on some piece of map. How can I do this? Please, help.

Ok, now I've got a new problem. While calling addPoint() on a map series does draw the new shape, calling update() on a point (to change its y value) does not change the displayed color.

The color is correct after mouseOver/mouseOut is called, so why doesn't chart.redraw() hit that same code path?

To have the hover effects working with 3.0.1 you seem to need this:

141 trackerGroups: ['group', 'markerGroup'],

Ok, I tracked down the highlight behavior:

141 trackerGroupKey: 'group',

^^ That was removed in master, putting it back in re-enables the hover effects.

I'm trying to use this, but when I serve the js from my server the hover effects (color change, and tooltip) to not work, any thoughts?

Hi Jonny, this is not yet certain, but we expect to release a map product by the end of the year give or take. Most likely we will launch it as a separate product, possibly with a special price when bundled with Highcharts.

Hi Torstein, I am really happy to read your info.

Is there a timeline when Highmaps will be official supported?

I played with ammap, simplemaps and jvectormap. All 3 are not really my taste. ammap has some cool features, but it's incredible slow and I don't want to include a chart library from another party.

Does Highmaps get a separate license or will it be a part of the Highcharts license? I would pay for it, if necessary ;-)

Actually, it's not a small plugin anymore, and yes, we are planning to finish this and make it part of the official API.

Are there any plans of making this plugin ever part of the official Highcharts library at all? I am asking since it does seem to be an often asked feature and the initial "small plugin" now dates from September 2012.
