Hi i am trying to create a 'pin' on a SVG map of the whole world, the SVG is build with path elements, my thought was to use a before or after element and show the pin accordingly.
Apparently it is not showing on the path element, i can see it in the debugger/console and if i put it on a div element it works fine and shows up, i have cut out all countries except the first one in the SVG for simplicity.
CSS
.map-pin::after{
content: url('pin.svg');
background-size: 30px 30px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
z-index: 10;
font-size: 1px;
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
left: -999px;
top: -999px;
/*display: none;*/
}
.map-pin.active::after{
display: block;
}
.map-pin.active[data-id="AF"]::after{
top: 0;
left: 0;
}

I also tried a more simple way by just adding an element inside the SVG after all the path elements, but this breaks the whole SVG.
Anyone able to help me out here, is it not possible in SVG path elements? and if so, what other options am i left with?

As I've commented you can't have a before pseudo element for a path. However in your case you can have a symbol for the pin and use it at the end of your document. This way it will stay above all the other paths. (a z-index won't work either in SVG).
If you are using a symbol with a viewBox attribute you can give the <use> element a position (x and y attributes) and a size (width and height attributes)

UPDATE
An update where I'm using the OP's pin:
Since the new pin is not a square, and in order to preserve the aspect ratio, I had to recalculate the height of the pin.

I created SVG sprite, where icons are on stack and displayed when targeting chosen ID. It works ok, but I don't know why, icons not appear on Safari, I can't find explanation in case when you're using SVG as a background. Is any one familiar with this problem?

first time question poster here. After over 2 days of searching on StackOverflow & other sites, and playing on my own with CodePen, I just cannot seem to figure out how to create an orbiting path for an SVG element that isn't a circle.
Here's a copy of the closest thing I've come up with: http://codepen.io/Whatsit2yaa/pen/epbbRR?editors=100

I can't seem to get an SVG that isn't round to properly adjust & transform as it circles a planet in an ellipse that goes around an orbit.
I'm open to using SVG images with CSS transform if this is beyond SMIL capabilities. Any animators have advice/help for me? Thanks so much!
