Technologies Used:

  • HTML5 & SVG: For structuring and rendering the scalable vector map.
  • CSS: For styling map regions and tooltips (hover effects, transitions, etc.).
  • JavaScript (jQuery): For interactivity like tooltips, hover highlights, and click events.
  • Bootstrap 3: Used mainly for responsive layout and tooltip styling.

Main Functionality:
This project presents an interactive SVG map of Germany’s administrative regions (states). Each state is represented as an SVG <path> element, styled with custom CSS. The map supports several interactive features:

  • Hover Highlight: On mouseover, a region highlights with a color change.
  • Tooltips: When hovering a region, a custom tooltip shows the state’s name.
  • Click Navigation: Clicking a region opens a Google search for that specific state.
  • Label Highlighting: Text labels corresponding to each state change color when hovered.

Map Content:
The map depicts the federal states of Germany (“Bundesländer”). For example, the region of Hamburg is included as an SVG path with an associated tooltip and click behavior.

Why It’s Effective:

  • Lightweight, no map libraries required (e.g., Leaflet or Google Maps).
  • Fully responsive and accessible.
  • Easy to expand with more interactivity or data-driven content.
