Question

I have a requirement on a website to display an interactive map of the world.

It has to work a bit like the following map

http://www.pentasia.com/flash-map.asp

but I want to be able to hover over each individual country, highlight it as i hover, and then select it. Once selected I want to have a separate display showing information from that country.

Have you seen anything that might fit?

Thanks

Telerik have a good silverlight map control that does it. Here are a couple of their demos:

I haven’t specifically used their map control so I can’t vouch for it personally, but I have used plenty of their other controls with great success and their support is pretty good.
