Sorry to post a duplicate question (http://drupal.org/node/542376) but I am not sure whether this is the appropriate place to post.

I am looking to solve the following problem:

Step 1. Present a class with a map of the world, but none of the countries are labeled. I would like for the student to click on a country, have it pull up a create content page where they can name the country and enter details about it (population, history, etc).

Step 2. This is important-- once the content has been created for that country I would like the map of the world to then display the name of the country the student entered.

It smells like jQuery Map Hilight can get me step 1, but what about step 2?

Help! This problem reminds me of an airline seatmap problem, or perhaps an inventory problem. Any suggestions?

I am looking to do something similar and also lacking an implementation to your described step 2.

It is for a real estate developer. for each development, they want a siteplan of the subdivision homesites that when clicked, take you to the homesite details. I need the ability to upload an image and html image map (created in advance) and link areas to the homesite nodes. My thoughts were to use something similar to node reference. You could click on the area and select node to which to link.

Let me know if you have any success in finding a solution?

This isn't really related to this module which is nothing more than a wrapper for a jquery plugin. However, you can include links in html image maps. If you put this into a php page you should be able to 1) check if the page exists and 2) link to it using a target to open a new window or 3) link to the create node page, also using a target to open a new window (with php code). you may also want to look into some of the tooltip modules which can fancy this up a bit.
