Not me you won't.

You've really got to sort out

 a) The problem of cropping a *huge* image every time you do this
 b) Overlapping place names

The former can be done by sacrificing disk space and having several
(overlapping) smaller images instead of one large one which you then crop
instead.

The latter may require some more inventiveness.  I have an intuative
feeling that aranging place names so they don't overlap but are as near as
possible to the dots is a hard problem.  Numbered dots and a key in the
html?

Later.

Mark.
