Image map <area> elements must have alternative text.

Each clickable region in an image map needs alternative text so screen reader users know what the region represents. Add an alt attribute to every <area> element describing its purpose. For complex image maps, consider using alternative approaches like SVG with embedded links, or a list of text links.
