<p>This example displays  a movable map of <b>Chicago</b> with two individually colored SVG markers highlighting the location of <b>Soldier Field</b> (<i>41.8625°N, 87.6166°W</i>) and <b>Wrigley Field</b> (<i>41.9483°N, 87.6555°W</i>). These locations are the home of the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs respectively, and each marker displays the letter <b>C</b> in the correct club colors.</p>

/**
 * Boilerplate map initialization code starts below:

//Step 1: initialize communication with the platform

  app_code: 'AJKnXv84fjrb0KIHawS0Tg',

//Step 2: initialize a map - this map is centered over Chicago.

// MapEvents enables the event system
// Behavior implements default interactions for pan/zoom (also on mobile touch environments)
var behavior = new H.mapevents.Behavior(new H.mapevents.MapEvents(map));

// Create the default UI components
  var ui = H.ui.UI.createDefault(map, defaultLayers);

// Now use the map as required...
