Traditional image maps only use static images and JavaScript coding. These maps are usually very basic and offer simple point and click function only. Apart from that, the database was built upon complex script language in which only professional webmasters are familiar with. Nowadays, through the innovative use of flash map software, users can import their own custom real estate image map into the software and define a point, add labels, lines, tooltips and infobox to make it interactive without any programming or technical skills required .
