Very good advice Rob.

Hi Jason,
Why don't you turn the convincing angle up-side-down? Instead of pulling
the 'accessibility' pitch focus on the performance and customizability
of having a CSS-driven navigation (accessibility will follow naturally).
Perhaps you could prepare two versions of a similar looking navigation
(one image one css) and run a performance test. Show the results and
hopefully convince your client to choose wisely?
Only a thought.

Good Morning everyone!
I have a client that wants me to write his navigation mostly as a
picture and then use image maps to get to the actual links.
I am wondering, how would I go about convincing my client that this
isn't the best way to do it? I personally think that some nice text
links, styled properly with CSS would look just as good if not
better then image maps.
Oh, and to put it into context, it's a picture rating site so I
don't know that Blind users are going to be too much of a concern
for him since they can't see what the main part of the site is for.
Any info I could get about this would be wonderful!
Thanks everyone!
