The features are in away listed in the interactive map, but for those who want just a basic list before using it:
Quick jumps between map points,
Jump points to help quickly jump around the map,
A very, very basic Search ability,
Quest listings (for quests that are provided),
Map switching/loading (for maps that are provided),
Map point information (if provided)
And the rest of the features are for the people adding the data
Screenshots can be found at my site here:

Helping out with information:
As always I NEED HELP!
If you could, please put the information in some kind of form such as:
Credit: (your name/ your guild name/ etc)
Type: (quest/town/mission/boss location/etc) -- Don’t worry about this one too much
Info: (your information)
For map points (towns, outposts, missions, regions, material traders, armor crafters, drakes, bosses, etc)
Please provide a screenshot of where they are located (if not already on the map)
The name of the map point (like Warmaster Tydus)
And then any other information you have.
The information needed for towns, outposts, missions, and regions are:
Skills that can be found there (at this point, no need to name who has them)
Items that can be found there, like from merchants or weapon/armor crafters (no trader items please)
Collectors and what they collect (at this point, no need for what they give)
Tamable Pets in the area
Your view point on how difficult the area is to get around (very hard, hard, average, easy, very easy)
What kind of special NPCs can be found in the area (merchants, material traders, dye traders, armor crafters, etc)
Also the names only, of other NPCs that give quests or are a part of a quest.
The information needed for NPCs (merchants, bosses, drakes, material traders, etc) are:
Their name.
Skills that can be captured from them, if any.
What they sell, if anything.
What quests they have, if any. (just need the name)
For quests please provide screenshots as well, so I can place a quest marker for them.
The screenshots should be of:
-where you got the quest (a screen shot of the Quest Log menu, with the mini map (press U) of your location is preferred, since it helps keeps the number of screen shots needed low)
-where you finished a ‘part’ of a quest, for each part there is, including any dialog given to you when you finished the part. (same quest log and mini-map screen shot is preferred)
-where you finished the final ‘part’ of the quest (again same quest log and mini-map screen shot is preferred)
Here is an example screenshot of what I would like:

Some Concerns:
Bugs:
I’m still a learning programmer and so I don’t expect this interactive map to be bug free. In fact I dislike how I coded it since it’s really just the original version with a mess of things added to it. So expect bugs, and if they occur, try refreshing the interactive map page. If you PM me the bugs you find I’ll try my best to fix them if I believe I can. Although keep in mind that I am working solo on programming this interactive map and I just got a summer job as well (sadly not one in programming or computer graphics *sigh*), which means I might not even be able to get to the bugs right away. Hopefully no major bugs will be found.
Downloadable version:
For those who are waiting for downloadable version, the downloadable .swf should be posted up after I collect some more data, so I’m sorry for the wait.
4/09 - Hi!
I created an interactive flash map for GuildWars to help out a bit during the next beta, since I know that getting around in 3 days can be quite hard.
There is a problem though... it lacks information!
The main map stuff works (moving the map, zooming in/out, quick jumps, etc), but when you try to look at information for a location, you’ll mostly see “?” and “unknown”.
So I need help with collecting information. If you know information about some of the stuff that I’m missing, could you please, please, pleeease tell me?
I’m also looking for nice short descriptions of places.
Credit will definitely be given on the interactive map to those who help
