ImageMap + SQL Server + ASP.NET question...

[Roy]

Ok,
I need your esteemed opinions please. Basically, what I want to do is
have a imagemap of the world wherein a user could zoom down to certain
regions and see info concerning that particular area. The info would be
pulled from sql server and would be very dynamic (info would change
daily).

What would be the easiest and fastest-loading-for-the-user way of
accomplishing this? Flash? Imagemaps?

Thanks!

You might want to look into how google's maps are implemented:

Thanks for the tip Brock, I'll give it a look-see when I get home (darn
work blocks all blog sites).
