Modify JVectorMap vectors: France isn't next to Brazil #33

Closed teajaymars closed 11 years ago

teajaymars commented 11 years ago

France is shown above Brazil (to the NE of Brazil). I believe that country is the French Guyana, but can we should just keep the big motherland France in Europe? It would be a little confusing for non geography geeks

Modify the vector data for JVectorMap I guess? Some research required....

Hi, how was this issue resolved? Is there any code you can share? I think it does make more sense to use French Guiana ahead of France.

teajaymars commented 11 years ago

Hey, the code is linked above in the issue's closing. I invented a country, French Guiana, which wasn't included in jVectorMap's country list.

ISO have granted French Guiana a country code in the 3166 standard though so maybe it's a full fledged nation. I'm not an authority really.
