Can this plugin create layers from geoJSON data sets?

Thanks, Ruchisupport:)

I downloaded and installed WP Google Maps PRO.

I have a new question: How do I create layers or shapes using my local geoJSON data set? I tried doing this yesterday, but without success.

What I need to do is create clickable shapes or layers for New York City, its five boroughs, and the community districts within each borough.

NOTE: New York City’s boroughs and community districts do not directly correspond to geoJSON administrative levels.

My attempt involved filling in the necessary UI fields. For the geoJSON URL, I used the path to the data set file (in this case, http://websitename/wp-content/themes/child-theme/geoJSON/brooklyn.geojson). On the front end, I got a blank map. On the backend, I kept getting an error telling me that I had to enter a latitude and longitude for each location. I don’t need to map locations; rather, I need to create layers or shapes that represent the various service areas for a company.

Thinking that it may have been a database table mapping issue, I downloaded the sample csv and made a new file, using the sample as a template, adding the additional fields for my data. I uploaded the file via the UI, but still got the missing lat/lon error. I tried finding a data set with centroids for each area, but had no luck. Is there a way I can get this to work without having to manually calculate the centroid for each area?

What I need is this:
-A shape or layer that represents all of New York City, while showing the boundaries of each of the five boroughs.
Clicking on a borough takes you to a page with the community district map of that borough.

– A shape or layer representing each of the five boroughs, while showing the boundaries of each community district.
Clicking on a community district takes you to a page with a street map of that community district.

– A shape or layer representing each community district within the five boroughs.
Needed for navigation links in the borough maps

I have the geoJSON data for all of this and can convert it to whatever format works best for the plugin. I can also extend the plugin to: 1) override/remove the locations requirement; and 2) add new fields to the UI to import the NYC data sets.

Currently, I have a data set for New York City as a whole, with the polygons for each borough and community district.

I really appreciate any help you can give:)

UPDATE: I resolved the plugin conflict by setting a no-conflict variable, replacing every instance of “jQuery” with it:

// original code:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
// remainder of backend.js code
})(window, document);

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

// non-conflicting code: $j(document).ready(function($){
// remainder of backend.js code, with all instances of
// “jQuery” replaced with “$j”.
})(window, document);

Well, the problem is back. I cannot seem to get rid of the “jQuery is not a function” error. I have added .noConflict() to backend.js, frontend.js, maps.js, but still get the exact same error. How can I eliminate this?

I also tried using jQuery.noConflict in the WordPress footer.php template, but that didn’t work, either.
Thanks!
