It's an exciting thing.

If you test your implementation across all browsers and don't hold us responsible for bugs, I can't see any reason not to use it in production.

Hi, this seems great! Do you suggest using this for commercial projects at this point or wait until it is out of the development stage?

still not working.
here is what firebug shows:

TypeError: options.series[0] is undefined
[Break On This Error]

var data = options.series[0].data,

Thanks for reporting, it's fixed now.

mmh it seems to be that the demo page is broken, nothing loaded and firebug says:

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://dev.highcharts.com/js/modules/map.src.js"

map.src.js

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://dev.highcharts.com/js/modules/googlespreadsheet.src.js"

google....src.js

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://dev.highcharts.com/js/testing.js"

map.src.js

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://dev.highcharts.com/js/modules/googlespreadsheet.src.js"

At this point it is licensed together with the regular Highcharts license.

We would like to use this plugin commercially. Is there any licensing requirements at this point?

Mike,

The coordinates for the scatter points is the same as that of the SVG shapes for the countries. In your fiddle, all the scatter points happen to be hidden behind the legend. See http://jsfiddle.net/t8uHA/6/.

Hi Torstein,

I'm afraid I don't follow how to add a scatter chart to an existing map chart. Do I need to somehow translate the x/y axis to pixels or something to get the points to show up? See this js fiddle where the new series shows in the legend but I can't seem to position the actual points: http://jsfiddle.net/t8uHA/4/

Thank you.

Thanks Mike! You should be able to create a point by adding a scatter plot to the chart, and add a point to the appropriate [x,y] position.

The map plugin works well, can't wait until there is a supported commercial version.

I realize this is a beta, but I'm wondering if there is a way to also create specific points within a country, like a pin on the map? For example, a point on New York, New York, USA with it's own tooltip?

Hi! excellent job !
Where can I find the map shape of Mexico? :$

thnx for replying but i have customized it my own way u have given options for writing events for legend tht worked for me!!! thnx!! :)

I'm sorry, currently we don't have tooltips on legend items.

Hi
can we show a tooltip on mouseover on legend items because its just showing ranges. i want to show color also on different ranges. that will be very useful for user to understand the map. plz reply to this ASAP.
thanks!

Looks great. I would like to request a feature for it, but since it is still in initial development I will post the request here. Would it be possible to allow drill in? For instance on the world map if the US is clicked then it would load/zoom into the US state map.

You'll find an overview of all the available options at www.highcharts.com/ref. The mapping plugin is still at an early development stage, so obviously you won't find it there.

I finally figured out how to show country/state's name on the tooltip box, too by poking around the Highcharts support forum and reference site. I do believe that, with Highcharts plugin, web data presentation ideas are limited only by user's creativities. From a newbie's perspective, it would be a big help if they can come up with some kind of cheat sheet showing the structure of all Highchart's available objects, property, and methods. Thanks and keep up the good works.

I figured out how to do the map without using Google spread sheet now. However, displaying X value in the Tooltips box seems pointless as it means nothing to the visitors. So can you show me how to display the country/state id or names in the Tooltip box, instead? Thanks!
