How can I create a *detailed* image map?

I know how to create one in FP2003 and add hotspots to it but I would like to
have more detailed control over the shape of the polygons. On my site
(www.aaltenvoogd.com) I have used a picture of a world map and I would like
to add hot spots to individual countries - some are quite small.

So, can I create an image map some other way and then paste into FP2003?

Thanks,
Stefan

You have to use the polygonal Hotpot tool which allows you to connect points to create your hotspot
outline.

Thanks Thomas, but that way of doing it is not detailed enough, that's why I
was asking whether there is a *different* way of doing it?

Thanks,
Stefan

If you need more detail than that allows, it will be totally lost on the
visitor. You cant get anything smaller than a pixel on the screen....

The only option is to add the country name to the outer area of the image with a line point to the
spot on the image, and then make the name a hotspot.

Yes, but in tracing the complex outlines of the countries I would like to be
accurate. So, is there a way of doing this? (fingers crossed...)

Thanks again. Just to be clear, is there no way of creating an imagemap with
hotspots outside FP2003 and then paste it in? How do people who don't use
FP2003 accomplish this?

Thanks,
Stefan

I am deficient in at least one of those, so I'll just pour myself another
glass of wine, cheers!

Why not make an enlarged insert graphic of that area? Then create hotspots on that. Without seeing the map it's hard to say if it would work for your situation.
