The BB Mapper provides a quick and easy not to mention cost effective way of providing visual map based searching for your web site. It presents a map of Great Britain split into nations. Each of these is linked to clickable boundaries representing counties or unitary authorities. These boundaries can be linked to static pages of your web site or call to a dynamic pages of your application. This means that the BB Mapper is ideally suited as a simple mapping front end to a database. Click the image to the right to view an explanation of the interface.

The alternatives are costly GIS applications or cumbersome drop down lists. Take a look at the demo and see for yourself.

Static Files:
A single file would exist for each boundary (County / Unitary Authority / Nation etc). When the user clicks the boundary (which turns light blue when the mouse is over it) the application will call the appropriate static page.

Dynamic Pages:
A single file or application action exists for the whole mapper application. The mapper passes the necessary information to the file in order for the dynamic page to display the relevant information. The most obvious use of this is when the mapper is used as a search utility for searching a database by administrative region.
