Image Map
This is an image that has several links geographically mapped onto it. For example, an image map of a photograph of the Beatles might enable you to click on Ringo and receive a page describing his drumming abilities. Click on George, and receive a file about how Eric Clapton stole Patti Boyd. One thing to remember about image maps is that they are a purely visual form of navigation, so if your visitor isn't loading the images, they'll never know where to click. For this reason, you should always include text links under the images as an alternative way to navigate.
