Question

Afternoon,

I have a requirement to have an interactive map where you can hover over a region (Australasia, East & South East Asia, South Asia etc.), have a “tooltip” or “hoverbox” with some info and then click and get redirected to a region page.

I started looking at Google Visualisation GeoChart with the intention of hijacking the click event but you can only select countries not regions.

Any suggestions for a JS library etc?

Many thanks.

I ended up using http://jvectormap.owl-hollow.net/ and overriding the onLabelShow, oRegionOver, onRegionOut and onRegionClick methods. Quite a simple and elegant plugin.
