Well, I really had some use for this, but they really should check the position of the capital cities…
Germany/Berlin ie. oh man…
With those mistakes I can’t use those maps.
I checked out the documentation. It looks like the city locations is entirely configurable. That’s not baked into the app. It’s all in the editable data file.

Well I didn’t have a look at the docs, so this seems to be the solution.
Thx for the hint.
I would love to use this map but can’t figure out where to put the data or flash file on my server. Also, how do you edit the xml file? Would love any advice!
You can put the flash file and xml data file anywhere on your web server as long as you set the HTML file to point to the correct location when loading them, just like embedding any other flash file, or even an image for that matter. As for editing the XML file, you can do that in any text editor.
I just found this tonight and think it’s wonderful. Highly configurable and customizable! It looks like a great little app.
