Curious as to why you find Timemap unacceptable for your purposes. It's a
nicely done library. I've worked with it in the past and had no problems using
it.
Just because it provides one way of constructing a Timeline and a map, doesn't
mean that's the only way to do it. Since it is built on top of Timeline 2.3.0,
it's possible to use Timeline as you would normally, and call into Timemap's
code as necessary. Or override parts of Timemap to do what you need instead.

Yes, it's easy.
