Annotations are used to mark the specific area of interest in the map area with texts, shapes, or images. You can add any number of annotations to the maps.
By using the content property of annotation object, you can either specify the id of an element or specify the code to create a new element that needs to be displayed in the gauge area.
<script id='annotation' type="text/x-template">
<div id='template'>
<img src='src/maps/images/flight.png'>
</div>
</script>var maps = new ej.maps.Maps({
annotations: [
{
content: '#annotation',
x: '0%', y: '50%'
}
],
layers: [
{
shapeData: world_map,
}
]
});
maps.appendTo('#element');Changing the z-order
You can change the z-order of an annotation element using the zIndex property.
var map = new ej.maps.Maps({
annotations: [
{
content: '<div id="first"><h1>Maps</h1></div>',
x: '0%', y: '50%',
zIndex: '-1'
}
],
layers: [
{
shapeData: world_map
}
]
}, '#element');<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>

You can place an annotation anywhere in gauge area by specifying pixel values to the x and y properties.

annotations: [

content: '<div id="first"><h1>Maps</h1></div>',
x: '20%', y: '50%',
zIndex: '-1'
