Hi,

I would like to create a web based regional map that would enable the user to click in order to choose a region on the map, and will also have some visual effect (resizing, etc) when hovering over one of the regions.
I want the map to work on desktops and mobile devices.
I'm having doubts regarding the best technology to use here when I'm mainly considering traditional image maps vs.SVG.
Image map are more widely supported, but any animation that effects only a single area in the map must be hacked over. SVG is a more natural fit, but is not supported by Android (old IEs can work using svgweb)

Any advice? Any other option I'm overlooking?
