Image Map Editors

[ShakeDoctor]

Hi,

Are there any image map editors available that are free(ish) and output the
image map as web standard XHTML file?
I want to be able to read the image map file programmatically, and it would
make things a lot easier.

TIA.

I've used this freeware 'Handy ImageMapper' before, it's easy to use:

Hmm, that was looking good until I saved the output to the clipboard and
looked at it in notepad. It doesn't produce valid XHTML code (i.e. no
trailing forward slashes).

Also (unless I missed something), it doesn't appear that you can import a
previously saved image map, ready for tweaking at a later date :(

Any other programs out there?

I think I've found one, for anyone who is interested. It's called Snowblind
Imagemapic. You can get it here:
