No adequate way of changing the map

[Vortelf]

The trigger function can't change only the map, which is stupid.

The only possible way is by

$(".mapContainer").mapael({
  map : {
    name: 'new_map',
    zoom: zoom,
    defaultPlot: defaultPlot,
    defaultArea: defaultArea
  }
})

where you have to redefine every config again.

You are free to contribute if you want to improve it.

However, the update() event aims to update the options for the current map, it doesn't aim to change the map itself as it can be done easily by replacing the old one by the new one in the container.

@Vortelf calling something "stupid" may not be the best approach to get help in an open-source project. As you may surprisingly not be aware, @neveldo is maintaining this library on his spare time, for free, without any retribution, for people like us to freely use this nice library in our website.

A little respect goes a long way.

That said, if you wish to continue the conversation in a civilized manner, I would be interested in understanding your use case (why do you need to only replace the map, and why replacing the whole container is not suitable for you?).

Thanks.
