    I'm sure there are plenty of these. One I have used myself though is ChartFX from SoftwareFX.

    Hi Michal,

    I'm doing a smiliar thing at the moment. You might want to look at VML

    You can get various tools that will convert your existing (vector) map data to map format, assuming you already have this, or it's relatively straightforward to generate as an ASCII file. It's quite flexible in terms of colours, line settings etc.

    A VML File can be displayed using a webbrowser control, from somewhere on C:\ or wherever - I believe there is also a method that allows a string variable to be displayed as if it were a VML File - although I can't be sure off the top of my head.

    There are plenty of samples on the internet of VML used for mapping.

    Regards, Stephen
