AmCharts Maps Drill-Down
The below demo map is perfect for what I need however there are 2 things that I've been trying to do and can't figure out how:
1. I cannot figure out how to add another location in a different city. So the demo shows San Diego with 4 locations, I would also like to add New York with 3 locations and Florida with 2 locations. How do I can't figure out how to add that to the js code.

2. Also, after the user drills down and sees the multiple locations within the city, I would like to add a URL that will take the user to a specific page, like this (http://www.amcharts.com/ti
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you, everything works except I'm still unsure where to place the last piece of code to make the URL work. This is what I did using jfiddle. I'm sure I placed that last code in the wrong place

});
map.addListener("clickMapObject", function (event) {
// check if the map is already at target zoomLevel and go to the URL if it is
if ( 'undefined' != typeof currentObject && event.mapObject.id == currentObject.id ) {
window.location.href = event.mapObject.theUrl;
}
currentObject = event.mapObject;
});
function clickObject(id) {
map.clickMapObject(map.getObjectById(id));
}
Ok I'm sorry, I'm slow on this. That code works but now it doesn't have the the drill-down with multiple locations in a city. That's where I'm having the difficulty, incorporating the multiple city drill down along with each location having a URL link.

Do not forget to add ID to each link you want to add to a location. The code should work, you can change the colors for the map and the markers, and the rollover/selected marker scale here:
rollOverColor: "#282828",
rollOverScale: 2,
selectedScale: 2,
selectedColor: "#282828",
color:"#000000"
