An image map is an image that contains one or more clickable sections, called hotspots, which are assigned hyperlinks.
Image maps provide visual clues to the type of links possible.
For example, the Campus Virtual Tour provides a map of the campus. This map provides links to all of the campus buildings at UW Eau Claire. The geographical map of UWEC is the image map and the buildings that are your linking tools are called hotspots. If you are looking for image map terminology and examples, please refer to Creating Clickable Images with Image Maps . Additional information on hotspots can be located in the Editing Hotspots document.
