GeoChart add Polygons for UN Continent, Sub-Continent, States #1010

Open orwant opened 9 years ago

What would you like to see us add to this API?

I am currently using Google Maps API for thematic maps, and would love to convert over
to Google Visualization API, but I need thematic polygons for aggregations at each
level of the geography tree (Continent, Sub-Continent, Country, State / Province (even
if U.S. only)).  The rollover and auto-generated color heat is great!!! But only having
Region maps for Country is very limiting for thematic mapping :-(

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

GeoChart

I just realized that you do in fact support US state, and some other provinces.  As
well as Metro.  Need to use resolution option.  If you could just add resolution: 'continents',
'sub-continents', that would be HUGE.  I have the polygons if you want them :-)

And I again am taking back all the horrible thoughts I was having.  You guys must be
developing this to my spec as there is an undocumented resolution:'continents' option
available already... must be in release queue :-)

I think Google Maps API just lost a customer :-)

another potential issue, if you want to draw U.S. states and Canada provinces... you
can't s how both on the same map, is this being looked into?  region='world' resolution='provinces'
?

has there been any advances on sub-national, non North American mapping? I am looking
for admin level 2 and 3 ability for Africa to build thematic maps from a db. thanks.
