Suggestion : make map more dynamic

It would be nice to be able to, among others :

  • be able to scroll (and zoom) the map
  • have each death dot show information about the death (via tooltip)

This is definitely a good idea, and something I initially intended to implement, in fact! I've previously used Leaflet for such use cases, but I assumed it was limited to real world coordinate systems / maps.

Your issue got me googling, and turns out Leaflet does support our use case! That is, it's possible to use a non-lat/long coordinate system, such as the one we're dealing with here. I'll definitely be looking into this as soon as I have the time.

Thanks for the issue!

I've also had a tiny bit of fun with AmChats it's not made specifically to do maps, but it can be used. (if memory serves you can put an image as the background, add a layer of something similar to SVG on top, and where it shines is the display of data in a general sense. I'd advise you to take a look at the demo page, (the V4 demo page as well) there are a lot of funky things you can do with it, but it probably is a bit overkill.
