Not sure if this is an acceptable URL to post (I think it's not-for-profit so should be cool) but I subscribe to this for the latest and greatest on accessibility:

@lammert: I see no problems as long you use the alt-attribute to provide text alternatives. WCAG checkpoint 1.1. In the <img>-tag it should read something like "Navigation links". In <area>-tag it should of course be related to the page the link points to, like "About lammert". "Dive Into Accessibility" does not object to image maps either.

As long as they are Client Side Image Maps, you're okay. 13 Objects, Images, and Applets
[w3.org...] 13.6 Image maps

These are client side maps so that is no problem. I will take RonPK's advice to add an extra alt text for the map itself. I only had the alt for the areas because that is what people with a visual browser will see when they hoover over the areas, but I understand the use of the map alt text. Tbanks.
