I've just released the latest version of the Baby Name Map which adds a tree of countries and regions for quickly navigating around the map. Using the excellent ExtJS user-interface toolkit, the Baby Name Map now provides a truly interactive means of exploring popular baby name statistics.On initial display, the map lists the top five statistics for each region, accessible by clicking the red marker. Clicking a country or region in the tree, will quickly zoom the map to that region and display the relevant statistics. After searching for a particular name, clicking a region in the tree will show the name's popularity there.
For users of the Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers (sorry IE users...), you can quickly see more popular names in a region by clicking the '+' (plus-sign) icon in the top right of each region's map pop-up. Using the latest features of the Google Maps API, the Baby Name Map makes discovering the popular baby names in your area quick and easy.
Now that these great features have been released, I'll have time to update the Baby Name Map with statistics for 2007 which have been recently released. Look for updates soon and watch this blog for news on updated regions.
