Is there somewhere in the documentation that shows the options one can use for a series object of a map? Currently in the documentation all it says for the series option in igMap is "An array of series objects" with a very simple code sample.
Hello,
You can check all of the available type of series that we provide from our samples browser:
https://www.igniteui.com/map/overview
There you can even find a sample code how you can implement these scenarios.
For additional information about these types of series you could check our documentation:
https://www.igniteui.com/help/igmap-creating-different-kinds-maps
If you need any additional details on the matter please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the reply Elena however I have already looked at all of the samples you mentioned above. To be a little more specific here was my dilemma:
Using the "Geographic Shape Series" sample, I was able to add the world.shp/dbf files to my map and display them by simply changing the URL of the shapeDataSource and databaseSource files. I now saw the world shapefile with the countries outlined. However I also saw a black dot in each country. Is that defined by the MarkerType configuration? I don't know because neither the sample code nor the IgniteUI help page http://help.infragistics.com/jQuery/2012.2//ui.igMap#options offered any explanation on what the MarkerType was other than "Its a markerType". Note that I am doing this entirely on an HTML page and not using asp.net code (c# or vb.net)- all in javascript.
Your link for the online documentation "help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/jquery/2012.2/CLR4.0..." finally pointed me to what I was looking for. I would have never seen this link without your post because everything in the product install is pointing to this page - http://www.infragistics.com/products/jquery/help which either does not show the online documentation link, or has it but makes it hard to find. Furthermore, the online documentation is all based on MVC 4 c# and vb.net but based on Infragistic's old Akido technolgy that I have previously used I guessed, correctly, that this would also be in the javascript library.
The bottom line is that I finally found what I was looking for but it took an incredible amount of time and help to find it. Even then I am not sure if it was the correct listing. Unfortunately, this is not new to Infragistics documentation. Since we started using Infragistics in 2007, the documentation has always been weak compared to the quality of the code, which is usually outstanding.
Hi Chris,
Sorry for your frustration! It is markerType that drives the markers you are seeing in the shapes. Setting this to "none" will hide them.
It does seem to be a bit tricky to get to the root of the help for a product in the new site layout, I'm not sure why. The search box is put right in your face, which is nice, but sometimes you just want the root of the help.
Thanks for your feedback, and definitely post here if you run into any other questions or frustrations.

Seems the most straightforward way to get there is Help -> Online Documentation -> IgniteUI -> Developers Guide or API Guide.
The developers guide is more long-form descriptions of what everything does and how to achieve various effects. The API Guide is descriptions of what all the options/events/etc do. But sometimes the descriptions are a bit terse, or it can be hard to see the overall picture, so you are probably best off starting with the Developer's guide.
Hope this helps!
