How to Make Bubble Maps in JavaScript

November 16th, 2022 by Shachee Swadia

Bubble Maps in JavaScript HTML5Map charts are a great way to put data in a geographical context. And they are not difficult to create! I am eager to demonstrate that by walking you through the creation of a bubble map, one of the most popular types data maps, with the help of JavaScript.

A bubble map is a combination of a bubble chart and a geographical map. It uses circles of different sizes (and sometimes colors) to indicate numeric values relating to locations or territories.

In this tutorial, I will be visualizing the data on gasoline prices across the United States. They saw record highs this summer after a surge fueled by the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine conflict. The first, basic bubble map will display the gas prices in July by state. The final one will add the magnitude of the change since February 23, one day before Russia launched an attack on Ukraine.

Follow along and you’ll learn to build beautiful interactive maps in JS with ease and no problem!
