Hi Antoine.

Any idea how you can ONLY plot the main country on its own rather than its dependencies ?

So for example, to plot mainland Spain without plotting Corsica and New Caledonia for example ? The ISO 3166 seems to have that granularity but can't see any way to link that to the maps data.

Cheers Pete

Good question Pete!

Actually I couldn't find a quick fix before posting this article, so I didn't look further.

I just had another look and it seems to me that the problem may come from the fact that the data from highcharts does not have the same level of granularity than the ISO 3166 data.

In any case, I would be interested to know if you find a solution!

Best,
Antoine

Is there a way to make the color of the countries different, depending on another variable with different levels? For example, instead of just "visited" and "not visited", if I want to do "visited", "traveled through", and "heard about"

Dear Mansi,

Sorry for my very late reply.

I have not tried it, but according to this example, yes it seems to be possible.

Feel free to send me your map if you implement it.
