Emap is IE-only, from my experience too (at least mozilla fails; I
think I checked some others, e.g. konqueror).

The Dan site itself however is very standards-friendly as far as I
saw.  They also have on the site a wonderfully done PDF file (couple
of them actually) that is a map of the whole Gush-Dan.  Zooming in
deeply you will see all street names and bus numbers...  Caution:
GhostView tries to render it completely which takes ages - in
particular zooming in/out will take you through the rendering again;
xpdf suffers from the same principial problem but is considerably
faster; acroread's render-on-demand is a big win here.  The best
work-around is to pdftops(1) it (from the xpdf folks) - surprisingly
the resulting PS renders in GhostView incrementally (unlike the PDF)
and about as fast as acroread - actually once you zoomed to your
favourite level scrolling is even faster since no rendering is needed.
GhostView's middle-button drag-and-zoom is also handy here.  It's the
most impressive application of PDF I've ever seen...
