Will the roles work ?  I have been avoiding for several reasons, but
also assumed that since the GeoChart documentation doesn't mention
them that they wouldn't work.

One of the reasons I'm avoiding roles is because they are described as
"experimental".  That puts me in a situation no better than using the
undocumented and may-disappear-at-any-time approach described by
EZChart earlier in this thread.  With the lack of version control that
has *still* not been addressed, I think it's unwise to use a feature
marked as experimental.

I'm also disappointed that the new implementation lost a feature that
the old implementation had.  It also doesn't render the "zoom out"
button.  From my perspective, both of those features are needed
together.  The new charts are implemented in Javascript, meaning they
can be viewed on devices like an iPad.  But the missing "zoom out"
button means that iPad users who can finally see the map will have a
harder time going back to the zoomed out view.  Add to that the
missing tooltips, and the GeoChart component is no better or worse
than the older GeoMap component.

I'd really like to see the tooltips and zoom out features be restored
to this component in a supported way.  Any plans for this?
