easy web maps using worldKit
Why use Google, when you can host your own map?

Downtown Hemet, California, USA

The circles, square, and triangles are hyperlinks for local places.

Pan and zoom tools let you adjust the view.

Five files make this map run:

These files are relatively small, ideal size for local-oriented web pages and dial-up downloading. The worldkit is an open-source Flash application developed by Mikel Maron. It converts map image pixels to real-world geographic coordinates (specified in the config.xml file along with other map parameters.) The map is annotated with RSS items (from an xml file or URL) with latitude and longitude (geotagging), displayed with symbols (squares, circles, triangles) or other icons. A text box will pop-up for each RSS item, and become a hyperlink to other web pages.
