Any way to dynamically add dots to the map?

[manifestinteractive]

Are you talking about dots based on the user location? If so, I do not think this is something it can do as there would need to be some calculations that determine geolocation and placing that location accurately based on how your map is setup. If you have some examples of what you are looking for, please add links as a new comment.

A few tracking services like gaug.es display a world map and places dots according to where the user is coming from. Would be good if this library could do that. Perhaps something like (pseudo code):

$('#map').vectorMap('add', 'marker', { us });
$('#map').vectorMap('remove', 'marker', { us });

So, lets say. If 20 users from the US come on the site. It would place 20 dots on random areas in the US. The same goes for other countries.

@krzkrzkrz This feature already exists in jVectorMap project, but not documented yet. Check out here https://github.com/bjornd/jvectormap and here http://jvectormap.com.

@bjornd yep, I noticed. But was wondering if this lib features something similar.

Is the marker code in this lib? I compared jqvmap with jVectorMap and found that it was missing. I tried to add it back in but was missing something.

@sonicparke No, jqvmap doesn't support markers. Also jVectorMap already has most of the features introduced by jqvmap in the development branch.

@bjornd Thanks!

But how to implement this when markers are added by calling: map.addMarker(....) ?

I want to show marker label permanently after calling map.addMarker(...)
