title: How to add data to a custom HighChart's HighMaps map? joinBy?
body: <p>I created a custom map using Inkscape as described on the HighMaps docs pages at: <a href="http://www.highcharts.com/docs/maps/custom-maps" rel="nofollow">http://www.highcharts.com/docs/maps/custom-maps</a></p>
  
  <p>Everything up to step 16 seems to go smoothly.</p>
  
  <p>Step 16 says that the only remaining thing to do is to add data or use the MapData option and this is where I am struggling.</p>
  
  <p>How does one link the custom shapes in the map to data points?  Using the shape name in a JoinBy?</p>
