is it possible to create a image map that is vector based (illustrator/inkscape) rather than raster based (gimp/photoshop)?

@kumquatsta

No not really because clickable maps are made with fixed coordinates. At least the final image must be a fixed size to match the coordinates, image mapped coordinates are not flexible like vector based images that are used in Flash technology.
