Flash Web Map software released—create web map and heat map with ease

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 29, 2010 -
The latest version (http://www.imapbuilder.com) adds 8 more map templates, including Argentina, Denmark, Israel, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, as well as 10 animated icons and 4 standard icons to pinpoint positions, identify points of interest and convey other useful information on the Flash web map. Apart from that, a heat map function is now available for users to generate a heat map to present trends and distribution across a geographic area in numerical values using colors. Such kind of map will allow people to have a greater understanding of how the epidemic is spreading worldwide, the sales performance of a company in different regions, the underlying relationship between the number of universities and the number of people with high Emotional Quotient in various countries, etc.  

If you have any custom map image in JPG, GIF, PNG or SWF format, it is possible for the web map program to import and convert it into an interactive map. You can also export the interactive map into a static JPG image for PowerPoint presentation or word document insertion. The program also comes with a wide variety of ready-to-use map templates for you to choose from and immediately edit and insert your content, such as interactive online world map by continents, interactive world map by countries, and country maps including those of the United States, Canada, UK, France, German, Italy, Spain, Asia, Middle East, China.  

Another good news of the web map program is that users can take advantage of the Points and Lines function, to 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.

" We concentrated on developing a Flash-based map application that is interactive, clickable, good looking and makes it easy for users with zero programming knowledge to customize. I think that we have produced something that is both funny and easy to use. Ever since the invention of the Internet, thousands of companies, organizations and government agencies feature a Flash web map to display the locations of the headquarters, branch offices in a clear and concise manner, visitors can explore more details with just a mouseover", said Godfrey Ko, Director of company, "In the past, only professional graphic designer and programmers were able to use advanced software to create sophisticated and interactive online maps, other people might be confused about how to get started and finally gave up because it is too technically challenging for them to build a map . Nowadays, any non technical users without programming skills can customize a number of web map templates, insert graphics, add text, create and upload a professionally-looking web map in minutes for the world to see,’ Ko added.

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.
