" In the twenty-first century, thousands of companies, organizations and government agencies feature a Flash online map to display the locations of the headquarters, branch offices in a clear and concise manner. These maps have become significant part in web applications, by helping the user to interact with the data with a simple rollover of the mouse", said Godfrey Ko, Director of company, "In the past, only professional graphic designer, actionscript programmer and web programmers were able to use advanced software to create sophisticated and interactive online maps, other people might feel it is too technically challenging to build a map. Now non technical users with zero knowledge in programming can take advantage of convenience and ease of use afforded by this map program, building a map is just as easy as pressing a button!"
Another great thing of the map program is that the map is accompanied by the Points and Lines function, where users can plot unlimited clickable points, icons, straight lines and curve on the map, as well as customize the descriptions displayed in pop up infobox and tooltips when mouseover.
The Flash online maps are perfectly applicable for the business websites in which they can show sales statistic figures of different States, store locator, traveling route, property finder, branch offices, etc to their visitors. In addition to building an interactive map, users can export the map into JPG image for PowerPoint or document presentations. To enjoy the maximum flexibility, advanced Adobe Flash programmers can purchase the FLA source code file to make extensive modifications for map templates.
Interactive maps and images created using iMapBuilder can be easily integrated into any website, thanks to iMapBuilder's web publishing function. The files can also be burnt on a CD-ROM for instant distribution to potential clients and customers.
