I am working on adding map visualization [1] for Zeppelin. I found 3
libraries for map visualization.


   - Google Map Chart
   - Geochart
   - Highmaps



The '*Google Map Chart*' use the Google Maps API. Data values can be
coordinates. I contain satellite imagery (terrain map).  Since 'Google Map
Chart' is with Google map It could be the best matching for our need.


'*Geochart*' is also coming from google chart. It is using line drawings
rather than satellite imagery. A geochart is rendered within the browser
using SVG or VML. Note that the geochart is not scrollable or draggable,
and it's a line drawing rather than a terrain map.


'*Highmaps*' is from Highcharts geo maps. It contain Highmaps plugin.
Highmaps loads its maps from GeoJSON.


Your ideas are welcome in here.
