Natalie,
The easiest way to accomplish this is exporting your map (or maps) to an
image format supported on the web (such as jpg or gif) and build a
client-side image map with links for your location. You could do that with
MapBasic to read the URL in your table but the easiest way is to use MapX if
you have it has built-in functions to convert map coordinates to image
coordinates.
Take a look at the following example for more info on the results and the
format of client-side image maps:
