Hi Guys, Our aim is for the GeoChart to replace the GeoMap (with all its functionality). It may require some patience, and workarounds (for example, placing a zoom out button on top of the chart), but we will get there.
As for defining a custom labels for markers, we decided to support (and document) the optional label column mentioned above by EZChart. This means that you have the same functionality as the GeoMap, but the data table format looks different (the labels column appears just after the lat/lng columns). Please do not use the tooltip role (or any role) for the GeoChart, as it will used for later for different purpose. I hope this helps.
