jVectorMap increase (world) map size

Question

I am using the jVectorMap from http://jvectormap.owl-hollow.net/ and everything works fine. But the standard size of the world-en map is very small. If someone wants to hit for example Bosnia and Herzegovina, he needs big glasses! There are zoom Buttons available but then you have to move the map within the container.

I tried to enlarge the div element but it seems that the map has a fixed size. To help me provida a bigger world map:

• is there any chance to get a different standard-zoom when a user enters the map website?
• do I need a bigger world map?

Or what else could I do in order to provide a bigger world map?

Cheers!

Answer 1

Within the file jquery-jvectormap.js is the code:

WorldMap.prototype = {
  transX: 0,
  transY: 0,
  scale: 1,
  baseTransX: 0,
  baseTransY: 0,
  baseScale: 1,

I just changed scale: to 3 and that seems to work

Answer 2

you just have to change these values:

$('#world-map').vectorMap({
        map: 'chile',
           focusOn: {
       x: 0.6,
       y: -0.2,
       scale: 2
     },
