Color code areas or plot your database listings on a fully customizable and interactive map of the world, continents, countries, states, counties, townships, congressional districts, zip codes, area codes or any other regions you need to map (even custom ones).

jQueryMaps is a whole new approach to interactive maps. Our map tools are designed to provide great vector graphics, dynamic navigation, and an extraordinary user experience without the restrictions of Flash.

This means that jQueryMaps can be used on any device: PCs/Macs (Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera...), tablets (iPad, Android, Windows…) or smartphones (iPhone, Android, Windows, RIM…). The map just uses standard JavaScript, jQuery and HTML5(1) to run. It’s that simple!

We provide professional turn-key mapping solutions, not just do-it-yourself software. Our unique map tools let us take care of everything, including the map engineering, the cartography, connecting with your existing database and website, and developing any custom functionality that may be required.

(1) As you probably know, Internet Explorer 8 and lower do not support HTML5. To overcome this situation, we use Google's Explorer Canvas to transparently convert HTML5 vector graphics to VML (Internet Explorer propietary vector graphics), which enables jQueryMaps to work perfectly well on old versions of Internet Explorer.

Our map tools let us provide robust yet flexible mapping solutions. jQueryMaps consists of a set of JavaScript classes that you instance and interact with from your own JavaScript code. jQueryMaps classes make use of the jQuery library and it should be included in the page/project header. jQueryMaps.Map is the main class for creating a map, and the only one required in most projects. The rest of the classes provide utilities and structures to create the data straight from your JavaScript code, instead of loading XML feeds.

In order to display a specific map, jQueryMaps simply uses a background image (in PNG, JPEG or GIF format), a set of features (the polygons or lines that color code the map) and an optional set of markers (landmarks placed on top of the map). All of these components will be provided with your project.

There are two ways to use jQueryMaps:

Having it load data from XML feeds. This is the most common setup for jQueryMaps.
Creating the data straight from your JavaScript code. This can be useful in specific cases.
