Hi Dave That seems a very workable solution. We have 2 sites. The main site is 50,000 static pages plus images. The coldfusion site and database back ends it within frames and is totally dynamic. I guess the CF site can mine the static one for maps with the system you suggest.

Have a table with MAPID, XCord, YCord and FileName as the columns. Then, you can surround each map with links to the adjoining X,Y coords, hit the database to get the file names. You can populate the links dynamically using whatever sequencing method you use to assign the X,Y coordinates to each map.
