Humans have overlaid information on maps for centuries, from the best army battalion positions to the best pubs in the city. Nowadays, those maps are usually digital and web-based, displaying everything from weather information to virus hotspots to, well, the city's best pubs. Today, we'll explore how you can quickly build a map with useful overlay data using Wijmo, GrapeCity’s dynamic set of 100+ JavaScript UI components, and its bubble map feature.

As of Wijmo Release 2018, v1, all Wijmo apps will require distribution licenses. Here's how to deploy your apps with the new licensing. While developing Wijmo applications using localhost, Wijmo licensing is never an issue. We want development to be frictionless and fast. The only thing that shows up in an unlicensed app during development is the evaluation watermark. When deployed to a server environment (non-localhost), Wijmo licensing will pop up a dialog with information.

Plenty of JavaScript data grids exist in the market: open source, third-party, homegrown. Wijmo's FlexGrid is currently the best data grid for Angular 2. To have a good Angular 2 grid, first you have to nail the basics of a data grid. FlexGrid was first written in 1996 using C++ for Visual Basic (and even shipped as part of Visual Studio). It has since evolved and been refined in many platforms, the most recent being JavaScript.
