How do I plot "Locations" on an EPS map?

Hey everyone!
I am new to ImageMagick and trying to "compile" a map with a number of locations marked on it. I'd be really grateful if a Magick guru could offer some of their wisdom...
How I was going to do this was:
1. Have a base image, the map.
2. Have a marker image, to locate the city
3. Use the -compose parameter to over the marker on the map
Is this a good technique? What I am curious about it how to define the location of the marker as an EPS is a vector file.
What I had orginally thought was to make the canvas size of the EPS that the marker file sits on the same as the canvas size of the map EPS and then just overlay them.
But when I try this the marker and map position align themselves top left, dont relative to their canvases. Maybe I am being ignorant. By canvas I mean the canvas size I used in Illustrator.
I guess if I create a identical 'border' for each it will work. Right?
Thanks for any advice.
