About SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)
Recommendation. SVG provides highly detailed graphics with rapid zoom and
pan capabilities in an XML format without reloading the image. Graphics
automatically scale to screen size, so the same map can be viewed on an
oversized monitor as well as a hand-held display. These online maps are
also text-based, offering comprehensive search capabilities.
