The map is not gonna change? I would have had no clue whatsoever where
to hover, or even that I could hover, if you wouldn't have mentioned
it. IMO, people will see the page, and think something is not working.
It's not like they've never seen a page that doesn't do what it should
do, they'll just assume this is one of them. The spots to hover are
very very small. Without a visual indication, chances are you are
annoying people more than you want.

Not on A elements, which is what you are using if I'm not mistaken.
Haven't looked at the code, but hovering changed the arrow into a
hand, I clicked, page changed. Aren't they links?
