GeoGraphPlot

GeoGraphPlot[{e1,e2,…}]

generates a plot of the geographic graph with edges ei.

GeoGraphPlot[{v1,v2,…},{e1,e2,…}]

generates a plot with vertices vi and edges ej.

GeoGraphPlot[{vi vj ,…}]

uses rules vivj to specify the graph.

GeoGraphPlot[g]

displays the graph g with vertices at geographic locations on a map.

GeoGraphPlot[{…,w[ei],…}]

plots ei with features defined by the symbolic wrapper w.
