"hi mike,

I dont have a useful suggestion for you just a comment/question.
I think the map is very handy and looks good to.

It would be difficult to create a lot more hotspots that
were close together(nearly on top of each other,) right?
anyway
nice work.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you.

The original maps where I first tackled this were 470x551px, yet there was 
42 hotspots -- building lots -- on one, 36 on the other (I'd link to them 
but they are in a temporary location on someone else's server: the buy who's 
currently still building the site for his client). Most of the lots/hot 
spots were located right next to each other so that didn't seem to be an 
issue. I had to adjust the link area sizes to allow room, not to prevent 
butting against each other, there was a lot of that, but to prevent overlap. 
Slight overlap isn't a big deal, but too much of it would create a major 
usability issue so care had to be taken to ensure any overlap remain minute. 
Most of the challenge came in the irregular lots to ensure I emcompassed the 
whole lot without taking to big a bite out of the one next to it.

The lots haven't yet been sold, but already there was a little property line 
dispute amongst some of the neighbors :-)

Mike
