I'm looking for some component (preferably freeware) what will provide me the ability to take an image of the USA and have a user click a state. The image of the state will then display, giving the ability to click either a region, or a county, and drill down further. A user would then be able to select one or more counties. I'm also trying to stay away from any google mapping features.
I don't mind having to create this feature from scratch, but I'm having trouble finding tutorials or similar articles on such a technique to get me started on the right path.
Any suggestions would be helpful! :-)
