I want to buy a flash map of USA to use for my client's web site. But I do not know what to choose. Do you have any experience or feedback about flash map developers?

I have found:
www.accelerize.com
www.usflashmap.com
www.flamingon.com
www.flashimap.com

Could you advice me a direction?

It depends on what you need to do. Seems most sites you found above provide you ready-made SWF which you can customize base on pre-set options, while only www.flashimap.com provides access to the full FLA source file for editing using MacroMedia MX.

So if you know little flash, you should compare the other 3. If you know flash mx well, then it is easier and more flexible to get the source code from flashimap for customize by yourself.

I have finally made a decision. I use Real Estate Map from www.USFlashMap.com (http://usflashmap.com) They have recently updated this map and it became extremely customizable even for me as for non flash programmer.

I'm playing with it locally now. It allows me to change:
background color, image, each state and EVEN COUNTY color, action on click and on mouse over. For small additional fee I have purchased an administrative swf file that allows plotting location on the map with simple drug'n'drop.

I will post here a link on my future website with installed map for those who interested in.

By the way guys from usflashmap has made a DEMO versions of US map and Locator map which I played with to make a final decision.

Thank you Yass for your advice. I have visited FlashMapTemplate link. Very impressive effects!!!

I am very happy that I get a map from USFlashMap an I agree that this map is the best for its price.

I have seen the USA map with counties from FlashiMap. It costs $750!!! But more functional solutiuon from USFlashMap only $399. Could you imagine a difference in price! By the way, I could not find ANY USA map with counties with such wide functionality as RE Map from Usflashmap.
