I'd like to use it for heatmaps, for instance. But a map with scatter plot is too heavy for me.

Geo map / Choropleth maps are very useful in a ton of analytical applications where location is important.

So, get cracking already :-)

Thanks.

I'm voting this up. Of course, I suppose you have all seen this beautiful raphael map: http://raphaeljs.com/australia.html

Yes, we are planning to support this commercially at some point. The examples below are just mockups so they won't be supported or further developed.

Hi there, this project looks promicing, with a lot of potential. Can I ask, are you planning on supporting this commercially at any point?

Secondly, is there anyway to make this work with exporting?

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

Based on the coordinates of this canvas map http://joncom.be/code/excanvas-world-map/

I created the following scatter chart:

We're getting there :-)

I created four symbols based on the coords of this projects http://joncom.be/code/excanvas-world-map/

I substracted 1000 from all coords and added a negative marginTop and marginLeft to options.chart

With that, I created the benelux and norway in your scatter:

Thanks!

Here's a rough hack showing how to use a scatter plot with custom marker symbols to create a map: http://jsfiddle.net/vGsYK/. Please note that this is just a hack and it comes without any guarantee. We will aim to make a proper map application further down the road.

The example can be improved by custom tooltips, and by passing values to the tooltips by x and y. Possibly data labels and tooltips can be positioned by applying min and max values to the x and y axes corresponding to the pixel coordinate system.
