Editor's review
This software tool provides a zoomable map of the USA which can be made interactive to provide location based information to visitors of your sites.
This code package provides Interactive Zoomable Map of United States that can be used on websites and on the Intranet. The cities in the US map provided are clickable. This map locator can be used to give your visitors where something is located. this something could be service locations you provide, locations of the branches of your business, the locations of stores if your business is a chain of stores etc. Real estate and travel sites are some other websites that could use this map locator quite usefully. Instead of trying to create maps from grounds up, this is a quick way of integrated map information into your site quickly and easily. Lot of additional information can be displayed when a particular point is clicked. For example, on clicking a branch location, you could provide all the information about address, contact phone numbers etc.
While you can use the map as is, it is highly customizable. You can change the whole look of the map, its color, captions or links. To get a sense of all the possibilities you should take a look at the publisher`s showcase gallery and it has a range of examples of what people have done with the map. It is easy to integrate with any of the scripting language such as ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, etc. and customized through a XML file. There is no need to be proficient in Flash to do changes.
