I’ve been wondering how close to a google maps like interface can be created in flash. Could this be a new opensource project?

What the project needs:  
-Be customizable via xml (load any map you want zooming options etc)  
-Load maps dynamicaly acording to zoom level  
-Easy to scale (this way it can be viewed in regular compters as well as mobile devices)  
-Easy to plot points and save to db or xml file  
-As you drag map to one side it would load map images to fill empty space created.

I have created a small hack which I will be posting in a day or two so some of you may get the idea and take this idea further.

Anyone up for this challenge?:hugegrin:
