How do I highlight a certain city on world Map using jVectorMap plugin

Question

I need to have a small identifier to highlight the particular city on Map using jVectorMap. what would be the Ideal way to do so. May be I can put something like image(say 3px wide and high red coloured near San Francisco) on Map. This way users can locate the precise location rather than USA in general.

Answer 1

You can do it in the last version of jVectorMap.

Answer 2

jVectorMap does just that, draw vectors. I don't see any mention in the API of defining true "points". So you can either draw a tiny polygon around San Fransisco, or you can overlay your own image manually. jsFiddle

<img src="http://www.changosurf.com/images/marker_red.png" id="sanFranMarker" title="San Fransisco"/>

...

#map-usa {    position: relative;    width: 600px;    height: 400px;}
#sanFranMarker{    position: absolute;    top: 160px;    left:17px;}
