SVG map parser for Highcharts Maps

This tool creates Highcharts Maps out of SVG files. The result is an array of paths that can be fed to the Highcharts Maps mapData option.

Usage

Run the map parser from GitHub Pages.

On Mac - from the root directory, python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 then open the website in http://localhost:8000.

Debug and work on the master. Merge into gh-pages and push.

SVG maps can be found online. For a starting point, try Googling for "Blank SVG maps".
Not all maps are successfully parsed using this tool. If you are having problems try opening the file in Inkscape, the free SVG editor, and simplify the shapes. Inkscape also has a "Save optimized" option that reduces file size. If that doesn't help, post an issue, and we might be able to improve the parser. Or even better, go directly for the pull request.
To add names to geographic areas, the easiest way is to open the SVG in Inkscape and apply a label to each shape.
