Help please? Map and Scrolling Tile Design

Post by Teonnyn »

I'm trying to achieve an effect like Google Map's smooth-scrolling tile-based AJAX layout. Instead of loading a continuous map, however, my system will be loading icons on one HTML layer and then their names on the other. The goal is to allow the user to scroll through a map-like layout and then click on the icons to see what they are - possibly by lightbox. Can anyone recommend a technique to use to build this? I've looked at several possibles and have no idea - most described solutions tend to just draw maps of locations, rather then allowing for other content such as icons. This is a highly visual project - here's an example of what it would be like: http://www.teonnyn.com/example.jpg
