scatter map with different markers

I tried to make a map indicating several network sites around the globe. See the figure below for example. I tried 'scatterm' but it doesn't allow different marker. Anyone knows how to achieve that with MatLab? And also how would the legend be made?

Call scatter once for each group with the chosen marker; save the handle array to the scattergroup objects returned. legend will associate the legend text with each in turn or you can use the 'DisplayName' property when drawing each.

Can 'scatter' be drawn on a map? I use 'scatterm' and it seem doesn't allow changing marker

Yes, scatterm accepts very similar inputs to the scatter function.

lt1 = rand(10,1)*180 - 90;
ln1 = rand(10,1)*360;
lt2 = rand(10,1)*180 - 90;
ln2 = rand(10,1)*360;
 
worldmap('world');
hs(1) = scatterm(lt1, ln1, [], 'm', 'o', 'filled', 'markeredgecolor', 'k');
hs(2) = scatterm(lt2, ln2, [], 'g', 's', 'filled', 'markeredgecolor', 'k');
legend(hs, 'one', 'two');

Thank you, Kelly, for this example!
