Found something cool, but I'm kinda mad...

So I just built this pretty awesome package that a client needed to help track which counties had been claimed by each of their sales representatives.
I ended up having them purchase a flash map (http://www.fla-shop.com/us_states/us_counties/) and created a (pretty slick if I do say so myself) XML generator that handled all the coloring, pop-ups and links by pulling data from the database.
A little while ago I found a cool application on ActiveDen.net (http://activeden.net/item/gis-mapping-framework/118019) that takes Census data, specifically Tiger shape files, and maps it all out for you.
The latest Tiger files can be found here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/
I may revamp my package to use the Tiger files, but, man... I can't help but to think I could have either saved my client some money or made a couple hundred more for my self.
