Stockist locator - clickable map plus google maps

I’ve done a search of the forums, but can’t find anything like a stockist locator.

I have a site that has a map (image) of the Netherlands. what I want to do make it so that the map is divdied into clickable regions. I presume i’d need some image map for this I guess.

The main issue that once a particular region is clicked it needs to link through to google map highlighting all of our stockists.

Is this possible at all in Modx? Is is easy enough to do?

I have done this kind of thing using amMap:

Luckily there is a Netherlands regional map available:

To output the points on the map is quite straightforward if you have your stores as individual documents; essentially you can write a snippet to run Ditto, iterate through the result and output the XML that amMap needs to plot the point (quite possibly you could do this without a custom snippet). My points link through to a profile page that includes a Google map (using the GoogleMap snippet).

That looks great, unfortunately there is now way my company will pay for the licence and free version with the link would be out of the question
