What is an Image map and why does it need to be responsive?
It’s a simple way to break up one image into link areas, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle with each piece taking you to a different URL. Most visitors today require the image map tool to be responsive. Responsive implies it works on different screen widths. This is especially important with most websites being mobile friendly now.
