Hey guys, It has been a while since I last posted here, but I always lurk. I wanted some advice on which direction to head to put together a little tiny mashup that won't be publicly used.
I'm tracking a number of items that "belong" to geographical areas (countries and subcountries/regions). I'd like to create a map that shows these regions, using colors in the polygons for each region, to identify # of current items versus # estimated total. For example: If California, USA was the region, and we had 3 items out of 1000 estimated, I'd like to display California as quite a deep red. If Afghanistan was the region and we had 67 items out of the estimated 68, it should be bright green. The range in-between of % complete should show some scale of those colors. So, that's the easy part. I'd like to do this in Ruby on Rails if possible. I'm not really interested in running a full blown WDS server, etc. I'm open to mashups, and I'd prefer the maps to look up-to-date, and the polygon drawing should be clean looking. I don't need absolute precision that a commercial database might offer (for the polys), so I'm very open to anything open source in nature. Can you guys recommend some directions to go that are relatively lightweight? At a minimum, I've got 200+ countries to visualize, and, if available, their sub-regions.
