Hi Ramesh, You map looks very nice. Here are some suggestions:
The base map is also 1.6 MB. Very large. You might consider gzipping it to svgz format (use gzip to make file.svg.gz file, then rename it to file.svgz) I also suggest that you load data in steps. First show the map, then next show the content. This way your large file will not appear to be so big. Do not forget to put a loading feedback system to tell the user that everything is happening. This should be easy if you are using Ajax. I do not use ASV for daily svg work, and have not used it for over a year. 100% of my work is done with Batik and Firefox. I can not use it on my system because it seesm to be filled with broken ecmascript. Luckily, I do have an IE6 running on wine on my linux box, and your system does work there. I suspect that this is because you tested it on Adobe SVG Viewer only and did not test it on Firefox or on Apache's Batik Squiggle. >From my ecmascript debugger in Firefox, I can see that you have several dozen ecmascript errors which are probably quite minor. When making the decision to make your map available only on windows machines running IE6 and the Adobe SVG plugin, you may consider that the last major upgrade to the Adobe SVG plugin was in 2001. All the evidence I see indicates to me that the percentage of users of ASV is shrinking. I would not use an html page with an embed tag if I were you. It works on neither my IE6/ASV3.03/SUSE-Linux or Firefox1.5/SUSE-Linux. I would use the svg url directly or use an iframe html element which works with all browsers that support svg. Finally, consider level of detail At max zoom, you shuold show different LOD than at min zoom That would clean things up and make the map more meaningful. For a student project, this is not important, but for professional or commercial work, it would be critical.
