Flex equivalent of Google Visualization Geomap (choropleth map)?

Question

The Google Visualization Geomap component is a choropleth map of continents, countries and regions, with colors and values assigned to specific regions. Although it is rendered with Flash, it can only be accessed and customized via JavaScript or GWT API.

Does anyone know an alternative Flash/Flex component that I could easily embed into Flex 3 applications (using AS3) ?

Answer 1

I've had previous success in a non-Flex project using amMap's non Flex maps, but they do offer a Flex mapping product. I was able to create and define custom map regions and you can essentially treat "anything" as a map, so I was able to create custom regions that weren't otherwise considered a region by anyone else.

I am not sure why this post suddenly showed up as "interesting" as of 1 minute ago given its age, but hopefully this can help someone else :)

Answer 2

checkout Esris Map solution. I worked with it on a big project and it proved to be a very flexible and functional mapping api
