Is there a JQuery Map plugin

I need to show a map of the United States where each of the states is in a specific mode. When the user hovers over a state, I want to show a tooltip.

Does anyone know of a 开发者_如何学PythonJQuery plugin that will enable this type of scenario?

Thanks!

This plugin provides this functionality:

If you don't mind using flash you could use Google Charts API as an alternative. It contains various easy to use interactive map types.

Also not jQuery specifically, but you can try PolyMaps which has various sample maps, including one that is exactly what you're looking for.

I don't know about jquery specifically, but I've personally used Raphael in a similar situation and found it to be quite useful. You can see an example similar to what you want to do (I think) with the Map of Australia Example.

Here are two updated (and excellent) options:
