Creating a GMap style panable & zoomable component with a supplied SVG.

[igaenssley]

Greetings,

I am needing to create a draggable, zoomable map that is viewed through an outer viewport, with being an SVG.

I've been able to create an SVG world map taking the path data and plugging it into the draw components, and making that fit to the viewport.

However, I seem to be at a loss on how to zoom or pan the map inside the container. I'll looked at the examples & docs, but am unable to come up with a solution. Setting drag/constrain/resizable seems to not have an effect.

Is there a pattern for this, or does anyone know of any examples posted anywhere?

Would this toolkit be of any help?

The book Pragmatic Ajax has a whole chapter on rolling your own Google Maps. I am currently using their sample code to build a draggable inner/outer viewport similar to how they are doing it.
