What is best web map technology for my project? Mapmedia 10-01-2007

I have a client who wants an interactive map on their website, but am
unsure which technology to use to accomplish it. Any suggestions? Here
are the primary functions of the map:

1. Show World map of countries
2. Click / zoom on any country > new map shows states or provinces
4. Click / zoom on state > new map shows major cities and minor
cities
5. new map of cities, zoomable into urban areas to show more cities
6. Cities and hyperlinked using a database

Not a lot of detail is needed, just a clean, straight scalable system
to get to city level (dots) that are hyperlinked.

Many thanks in advance!
