John Alciere asked for recommendations.

I'm looking for recommendations for tools that generate graphic "hot-spot"
maps to be included in HTML documents. If possible, I'd like to be able to
preview the hot-spot mapping from my PC (which has a web browser but not a
server), rather than have to load it onto a web server.

I use MapEdit 2.1, a shareware software product ($25). It allows you to preview
your hot spots and edit them. It also saves in either CERN or NCSA format.
Check on http://www.yahoo.com for mapedit. That's how I got it.
Hope it helps.
