We have got something good for you this week. This time we have our sponsor - SimpleMaps to give away 3 lifetime licenses of interactive HTML5 maps.
SimpleMaps develops and supports interactive HTML5/JavaScript maps for websites. Their World and USA maps are their most popular products. These maps are great for improving website navigation or visualizing geographic data. SimpleMaps can be easily customized in minutes using an intuitive spreadsheet-based online tool. The maps are very flexible and can be extended by using their JavaScript API. SimpleMaps look beautiful on mobile devices and degrade gracefully to support legacy browsers like IE7 and IE8.
Brief Overview
Instead of using old school image map to make your map image clickable, you can try SimpleMaps' HTML5 map solution. Once the map is loaded, you will get an overview of the map. For example, if you chosen World Map, you will see the image below:
You can choose different continents, and it will zoom in so you have a more detailed view of the country you want to choose.
Javascript API
Here comes the awesome bit of SimpleMaps - Javascript Hooks. You can customize SimpleMaps' behaviors by using its events and methods.
Support
It's designed to work across different platforms and browsers. And if it doesn't, it will degrade gracefully. SimpleMaps come in HTML5 version and flash version. It plays well on mobile platform too.
