An image map is an image that contains one or more invisible 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. Hence, 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 information about hotspots, please refer to Creating Hotspots or Editing Hotspots . Image maps are images that contain hyperlinks.
