Creating a map of United States and counties with rollovers
I am looking to making an image map that will allow for rollovers, but the kicker is that when the user rolls over a State, only that state image changes, not the entire image, therefore I don’t have to expect the user to load a ton of images.
I have an example I did, but it replaces one 600px image with another. Roll over Texas.

To do this I used an EPS Illustrator file exported to Image Ready.
One example of what I want to do is found at
http://www.copperstationproperties.com/property/statemap.aspx?nid=1518&state=texas
I am looking for a program that will do this and can be used repeated as I have to do all the counties in 6 states.
Thanks.

hmmmz, you're right :o
Meh, imagemaps, don't really sue 'em a lot.
Well, uurhm, forget my previous comment.
Allthough, if I had the right images (and knew how to put those states together), I could make this in Flash in 15 minutes...
Way easier, but, indeed, not the question.

If you happen to have ArcInfo/ArcGIS, or know someone who has it, this might be handy.

It's a set of scripts to generate imagemaps from GIS data automatically.
Or you could always cough up $300 for MapPoint...

> If you want to use roll-over images, you can only use rectangular area's, right?
Er, wrong, actually. You can use <imagemap shape="polygon">. In fact, that's what the example the asker provided does. I don't think he wants a different medium, I think he wants a way to streamline the process of generating the maps, which in this case probably means some sort of GIS-based solution.
