I want to to show points on a map of our customers.....I currently have there city, state and zipcode. Is that enough data to produce the map or do I need longitude and latitude as well

Thanks

Hi tritter,

In order to show your customers location on map, you have to specify longitude, latitude:
http://www.highcharts.com/docs/maps/latlon

You can also use custom X and Y ranges, using Highcharts coordinate system.

Without this information you cannot show points on a map.
