VERY VERY good point!  SOmetime you just have an image that you want 
irregular coordinates and so an image map is easier.  Of you have a picture 
and you want selected circles to be linked and nothing else.  the options 
are endless but if you do not want odd shapes or slected coordinates then 
yes use sliced images, but be careful on tables sometimes as some browsers 
like to screw them up.

Hi,

 > So I'm wondering in which cases the image map is the better way to go.

Well, one case would be when an image isn't cut-up-able, like a map of the 
US where each state should be clickable.  Can't cut irregular shapes like 
that.

But yeah, usually images that are cut-up are a little more flexible.
