Simple, static, local visited places map (aka travel map) using D3 and D3 Datamaps

Yet Another "Visited Places" Map

This is a simple local web application which allows to visualize countries and places (cities, etc.) you have visited during travels.

There are gazillion of apps like that, here are the traits of this one:

• Standalone HTML+JavaScript webapp, no backend.
• Doesn't rely on 3rd-party web services like Google Maps, which change all the time and will break the app.
• Doesn't even pull any files from Internet, all dependencies (D3 and D3 Datamaps) are mirrored locally.
• Visited countries/cities info is stored in simple JSON-like files (which you edit with your text editor).

Missing features:

• No zoom (the webapp is based on D3 Datamaps which doesn't support interactive zoom as builtin feature; patches to add zoom support in a clean way (no bloat please!) are welcome).

How to use:

• Clone git repo.
• Edit countries.js and cities.js files following sample data they already have.
• Open index.html in a browser.
• Deploy all files to a webserver if you want a map to be accessible on Internet. (E.g., you can use Github Pages, example is here: https://pfalcon.github.io/visited_places/).

Customization:

• Refer to D3 Datamaps docs and samples.

Request: zoomable map, for detailed city view

I really love this webpage! Cool to get a virtual scratch poster.

But while I am done with capitals, I want to go further: every city I was. Than zoom becomes handy:

1. Zoom, just with a scroll wheel or something, just in and out.
2. Zoom by country, click on a country to get it in view.
