from the map at http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states.htm
it looks as though the states and the colors over them are determined by an external xml file, is there anyone who could direct me on how to generate this or a link on how to produce a map like this? Basically I have different regions of the US...i.e. West, Central , East, South, which consist of different states I would like to have when you rollover the google map on the specified region highlights and then when you click on it an infowindow comes up where you can add whatever data you would like Any help would be appreciated thanks On Oct 3, 6:22 pm, Shobha Rishiraj <[email protected]> wrote: > See the JavaScript source code of this page: > > http://www.replyat.com/GL_SimpleSteps.asp > Here when a user clicks any area of the map, a popup appears showing > address, country name and country flag.
