Well what's easiest overall on my side, is to update Map so that it does at least three different ways.

1) Single files are a must.

2) Images maps are a must.

Wow itself would be just as big a pain to change if someone had to stop using the maps and go single right away. Maps breaks on WoW 1-2 times a year because of the very old delay load technique and really needs an update. I'm pretty sure that neither Raylan nor Fandy enjoy its current state.

3) Supporting individual images that have image file paths in CSS is a must.

As I know there are sites that have already committed to having icons and marker like things as individual CSS classes. WoW does for example and they cant be used a map marker right now. Supporting these means supporting an existing file update point rather than just making another one in addition.

Those would cover probably everyone. The real job is dealing with massive numbers of images, and what is where and on what page over time. The real benefit of the map templates were in how they helped automate that part of the problem, rather than the map part itself.
