User (Legacy) Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I need to locate a US National Zipcode SVG Map to use with the Maps Extension. Has anyone developed this map? Or know where I might locate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 We're currently working on new map collections, including 5-digit zip codes for each individual US State. We haven't decided yet if a National 5-digit zip codes map will provided, since the size of the SVG would be too big and hence too slow to load. We will probably create a 2-digit or 3-digit National zip code map. The timeframe or cost for the new collections hasn't been defined yet. Keep posted to our website for checking its availability. --- IG Software FX "Rick Gipson" <rgipson@necbns.com> wrote in message news:bsuQUFTrDHA.1560@WEBSERVER1... > I need to locate a US National Zipcode SVG Map to use with the Maps > Extension.

User (Legacy) Posted December 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 I spend hours scouring the net today to find something online. And i think i found the right place WorkingMaps.com has a good set of maps that they sell online. They were able to send me an exact map that i needed. They also have SVG formats http://www.workingmaps.com/ Now... Unfortunately i am trying to get one of the map that i bought from them to work and i get an error when i bind that svg file to the chartfx map extension that i just downloaded today. Here is the error . Invalid error Prefixes beginning with "xml" (regardless of whether the characters are uppercase, lowercase, or some combination thereof) are reserved for use by XML. I am sure that it is a minor issue which chartfx will be able to resolve, as it appears that somehow the chartfx control does not like the SVG format that i got. I noticed that the svg file was created using Adobe illustrator ver 10. So next i took the "IL Zips.svg" that was in the sample, opened it in Illustrator 10 and then saved again in SVG file following the instruction that in the chartfx help files. I got the same error. It looks the chartfx does not read the svg file format created by illustrator 10. I am sure you guys will be able to resolve the problem. I know i would buy it instantly, if i can get it working with the map sample that I need.

Software FX Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 There's a known issue with the SVG format saved by Illustrator 10, which will be fixed in the next service pack. As a temporary workaround, you can manually remove the offending lines from the resulting SVG. In the SVG header you will see a few lines with the prefix xml: and a variable that is later used in the SVG tag. Just remove such lines and your modified SVG will work. You may want to compare the headers of one of the original SVG provided with Chart FX Maps and the SVG saved by Illustrator 10. --- IG Software FX "Aasif Bagdadi" <aasifbagdadi@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:LFN9IgfyDHA.3512@WEBSERVER1... > I spend hours scouring the net today to find something online.
