How to add Marker in jVectorMap?

Question

I'm new to jVectorMap. I've already got the google map from the link: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/RPjJYb. I'm trying to add markers to this map. I tried the following code but couldn't add marker to the map:

$('#vmap').vectorMap({
    map: 'usa_en',
    backgroundColor: null,
    color: '#D2D3D4',  //#F58025
    hoverColor: '#754200',
    selectedColor: '#F58025',
    borderColor: '#FFFFFF',
    enableZoom: false,
    showTooltip: false,
    regionsSelectable: true,

    markersSelectable: true,
    markerStyle: {
        initial: {
            fill: 'grey',
            stroke: '#505050',
                "fill-opacity": 1,
                "stroke-width": 1,
                "stroke-opacity": 1,
            r: 5
        },
        hover: {
            stroke: 'black',
            "stroke-width": 2
        },
        selected: {
            fill: 'blue'
        },
        selectedHover: {
        }
    },
    markers: [
         {latLng: [41.8781136,-87.6297982], name: "My marker name",style: {fill: 'yellow'}},
    ],
    onRegionClick: function(element, code)
    {
    alert(code);
    }

});

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

as @Irvin Dominin said jqvmap does not implement markers so try using jVectormap they are lot alike.

$(document).ready(function(){
	$('#vmap').vectorMap({
	    map: 'us_aea_en',
	    backgroundColor: '#00ff11',
	    color: '#D2D3D4',  //#F58025
	    hoverColor: '#754200',
	    selectedColor: '#F58025',
	    borderColor: '#FFFFFF',
	    enableZoom: false,
	    showTooltip: false,
	    regionsSelectable: true,

	    markersSelectable: true,
	    hoverOpacity: 0.7,
	    markersSelectable: true,
	    markerStyle: {
	        initial: {
	            fill: 'grey',
	            stroke: '#505050',
	                "fill-opacity": 1,
	                "stroke-width": 1,
	                "stroke-opacity": 1,
	            r: 5
	        },
	        hover: {
	            stroke: 'black',
	            "stroke-width": 2
	        },
	        selected: {
	            fill: 'blue'
	        },
	        selectedHover: {
	        }
	    },
	    markers: [
	              {latLng: [41.8781136,-87.6297982], name: "My marker name",style: {fill: 'yellow'}},
	         ],
    onRegionClick: function(element, code)
    {
    alert(code);
    }

	});
  
});

.jvectormap-label {
    position: absolute;
    display: none;
    border: solid 1px #CDCDCD;
    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;

    color: white;
    font-family: sans-serif, Verdana;
    font-size: smaller;
    padding: 3px;
}
.jvectormap-zoomin, .jvectormap-zoomout {
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;
    border-radius: 3px;

    color: white;
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    cursor: pointer;
    line-height: 10px;
    text-align: center;
}

.jvectormap-zoomin {
top: 10px;
}
.jvectormap-zoomout {
top: 30px;
}

You are not using jVectormap, but jqvmap. I don't think it implements markers.

You can switch to jVectorMap, it's a bit different, but it has markers like: http://jvectormap.com/examples/markers-world/
