Autodesk makes a product called Mapguide. It connects to a DB and
dynamically (thematically) colors the states (counties, symbols, predefined
shapes etc.) based on data read from the DB. It can get expensive but,
depending on what you want it for, it's worth it. It's made for high end,
vector based, graphical representation of data.

If you want more info, you can email me off line and I'll give you links to
demos, answer questions etc.

Subject: Dynamic state color
I was wondering if anybody has had experience with generating dynamic US
maps. Specifically I'm working an application that needs to generate the
state color based on certain parameters.
Can this be done with a combination of CF,JavaScript,CSS and Image Maps with
good precision of state borders? Or would a tool such as Macromedia's
Generator be a better way to go if there is enough Flash experience in
house? Are there any other tools besides Generator that can do this that
anybody has used? I appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Ryan Williams
