jqvmap

Only provides maps for world, USA, Europe, and Germany, restricting use cases without custom map creation, which requires additional tools and effort as noted in the Custom Maps section.

Forces reliance on jQuery, adding overhead and compatibility issues in projects not using this library or using modern frameworks, limiting its applicability in contemporary web development.

As admitted in the README, pins are placed at the center of bounding boxes, which can misplace them on irregularly shaped regions like the US, reducing precision for marker-based visualizations.

The project's transfer of ownership and origin from a 2012 fork raise concerns about long-term support, updates, and compatibility with newer web standards.
