// There are tons of Flash-based map solutions and there is always Google maps integration, but what if you want a more visually simplified, tablet-ready solution that will not depend on external sources? 

JQVMap is a #jQuery plugin that renders #Vector #Maps.  It uses resizable Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for modern browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer 9.  Legacy support for older versions of Internet Explorer 6-8 is provided via VML. It comes with ready maps for Europe, Germany, Russia, USA as well as a world map. And of course you can build your own custom #map following the thorough documentation.
