Kartograph - Interactive JS map without Google Maps.

Google Maps is amazing service but lately the guys from Google decided to charge us for the free mapping stuff we were dependent on of the last few years.

Many companies stated to search for alternatives for Google and found some useful services like Open Street Map etc.

Kartograph is a new Java Script framework for building interactive map applications without Google Maps or any other mapping service. It was created with the needs of designers and data journalists in mind.

Kartograph.js is a JavaScript library for rendering SVG maps. It is built on top of jQuery and Raphaël.
