I am doing it for US states:
www.polyarc.us/polybuilder
but it could be done for world countries. I requires a bit of work to
build the "click" / "rollover" grid.
If you are using it strictly for navigation to another web page,
static maps are much faster than dynamic maps. "usemap" MAPs with
AREAs are another option. You will have to convert from Lat/Lon
coordinates to pixel offsets. If you choose not to load the whole API
just to capture one click, you can use the following:
www.polyarc.us/adjust.js
to do the Mercator projection conversions.
