Map using leaflet.js and d3,js overlaid

This is a map that uses leaflet.js and d3.js in a way that combines the two so that the d3.js object stays fixed in relation to a geographic point but remains the same size on the screen. It is as used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.

It is derived from the Pere Roca Ristol example but is simplified somewhat.

{"objects":[
{"circle":{"coordinates":[-41.28,174.77]}},
{"circle":{"coordinates":[-41.29,174.76]}},
{"circle":{"coordinates":[-41.30,174.79]}},
{"circle":{"coordinates":[-41.27,174.80]}},
{"circle":{"coordinates":[-41.29,174.78]}}
]}
