For loop within GeoGraphics

I'm trying to plot a map with a list of destinations as Disks.
I first input the cities into a list such as:
destinations = {GeoPosition[New York City],
GeoPosition[Mumbai],
...}
where "New York City" is input using the Ctrl+= method to access interpreter and specify it as a city.
Then I have something summarizing to:
GeoGraphics[{
Black,
Disk[For[i=1, i<Length[destinations]+1,i++,destinations[[i]],1],
...
Disk[city,1],
},
...
]
This outputs a map with my desired projection settings such as background, range, and the single disk that I specified separately like:
Disk[city,1],
I have also tried to put the Disk
function inside a for loop like:
For[i=1, i<Length[destinations]+1,i++,Disk[destinations[[i]],1]],
It's not an incorrect indexing of the destinations list either, because
For[i=1, i<Length[destinations]+1,i++,Print[destinations[[i]]]]
outputs the correct amount of cities, whereas
For[i=0, i<Length[destinations],i++,Print[destinations[[i]]]]
outputs a first item of "List" and doesn't print the last city.
Is it possible to use for loops within a GeoGraphics
function, or would I be required to add a Disk
function line for each item I would like to plot instead of iterating through a list?
Thanks in advance for the help!

You don't need For
loops.
Instead you can Map
Disk
on destinations
; that is, use Disk /@ destionations
(Disk[#, 5]& /@ destionations
if you want a radius of 5
instead of the default radius 1
).
cities = {Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}],
Entity["City", {"London", "GreaterLondon", "UnitedKingdom"}],
Entity["City", {"Bombay", "Maharashtra", "India"}],
Entity["City", {"Delhi", "Delhi", "India"}]};
destinations = GeoPosition /@ cities;
GeoGraphics[{Black, Disk /@ destinations}]
Notes: If you have to use a For
loop you can do:
disks = {};
For[i = 1, i <= Length[destinations], i++, AppendTo[disks, Disk[destinations[[i]]]]];
GeoGraphics[{Black, disks}]
same picture
Alternatively, you can use Table
:
Table[Disk[i], {i, destinations}] == disks
True
and if you have to use a For
loop inside GeoGraphics
GeoGraphics[{Black, disks = {};
For[i = 1, i <= Length[destinations], i++,
AppendTo[disks, Disk[destinations[[i]]]]]; disks}]
same picture
Yes, this works perfectly thank you!
