Can anyone point me to some really good examples that don’t use Flash? I suppose it depends on whether it’s purpose is to be a vanity feature that no-one uses, but gets wheeled out to show some shiny or a map that is actually of benefit in finding one’s way around a campus. The warwick one is one of the best I’ve seen, but I can’t help thinking that online interactive campus maps tend to be a solution in search of a problem. A problem that is probably better solved by decent real world way finding and signage. Hope that isn’t too negative – I do have fond memories of the one we did in flash.
