Image maps are clickable regions on an image with links to different URLs. They can be created using the `<map>` and `<area>` tags, defining a map and specifying coordinates and links for each hotspot. This technique remains simple and effective for adding interactivity to images and can be made accessible by providing text descriptions of hotspots.
The `<map>` and `<area>` tags can create image maps with multiple clickable areas, each linking to a different URL or triggering an action. They are still supported by most modern browsers and useful for accessibility, SEO, and legacy support purposes.
