Navicomp - a map and programming project
This is both a map, and a programming project. It's a prototype of something I was intending to include with another program I am working on (which has nothing to do with maps), but I wanted to show the map to you guys.
It's a program which displays my map, with points of interest, and allows the user to click a destination to find out further information, in this case a smaller map showing greater detail and a little area history.
The map I've created is a sci-fi starmap, but it's scriptable and could just as easily handle a fantasy or historical map, with points of interest being forts and villages, with the extra details in the pop-up boxes being village/fort maps and area trivia or characters of note.
The images aren't great at showing the map in action, this small youtube vid is much better.

looks cool buddy.
The road to success is always under construction.
I like the conceptualization of a stellar map. Very cool,

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
Pretty cool. Looks like it's from a video game. Nice job.

Thanks for the feedback.
I have a fair bit of work at the moment, but I'd ideally like to have a few members take the exe for a test drive once I have a free day. I need to see if it works as intended on computers using different themes in particular.
Hey Funso! Nice proggy (and maps!)
I edited you posts to put the images inline... Once they are attached, just click the paperclip icon "insert" them wherever you want... They will show up as:

and you won't need to sue the insert image or link buttons.

That's a really sweet idea, man.
I'd be really interested to see this concept played out in an online environment, either in Flash or handled through some front-end dynamic kung fu like jQuery or Ruby.
