[Mapit] More Info

I've done some more reading of the source code.  Here's how I understand
what's going on with Map It!

Genmap - creates an image file with embedded markers
Showmap - creates the html page with an image map corresponding to the
embedded markers in the image created by genmap.

It appears from my last posting that MapIt! will work with Lat/lon data as
long as it is used in decimal form.

So my question now is how do I define the images to use with Mapit?  Am I
going to have to physically cut each chart into pieces and create an info
file for each set?

Ultimately, I want to use mapit to do a batch create of the charts, i.e.
generate all the web pages ahead of time.  What we'll have is a set of
static html pages served from the web site.  If data is updated, then we
regenerate the site.  I think this will improve performance overall and we
don't have access to cgi from our web host.

Can someone give me an idea about how to accomplish this?

Thanks
