Where can I download an interactive mapping tool of North America for little to no cost?

I need a tool that allows me to create a map like the one below, where when I click each state or province it brings me to a specified URL on my website!

Does such a tool exist?

If provided, so will the tip!

Thanks.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Google Maps provides the functionality you need, and it is also interactive to the end user.

The web UI allows you to create custom maps, with custom place marks, and then add titles and descriptions to each. The descriptions can contain links to other sites via HTML.

Once your finished, you can find the "Link" hypertext on the far right, just above the map. Copy and past the embed HTML code to your website, and viola.

Be sure to check licensing restrictions if you plan to use this for business purposes.

Best of all is the added features...Real time editing for you, in case you ever want to add information, and driving directions for the end users.

The Google visualization API has a mapping portion to do stuff like this. http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/

With a bit of JavaScript you can write callbacks to link a user to a given page based on what state they clicked. Take a look at some of the examples http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/examples.html

There is also a DIY configurable Flash map that you control by writing an XML file http://www.backspace.com/mapapp/

Either of those two options should get you off to a good start.
