Pretty cool piece of web design as well, having divs carefully positioned over an .svg background so that they can all just be straight HTML links. Anybody know of a tool that facilitates this, or did the author just do a lot of nudging around on notepad++?

If you want the real thing, look at Roche’s two maps:

For all its complexity, it’s a reasonably-priced metro system. A ticket just costs 80p.

I had this (or one like it) as a poster on my wall during uni. Love it.

And even that is a summary, and it’s more complex than is expressed on paper.
Tough to dance to, but it doesn’t mean people haven’t tried.
This chunk, choreographed:
The tan arrow only, going left to right, proteolysis would be a different dance.

Couldn’t you write a program that parses the svg file for certain tags, and writes out the appropriate divs? The SVG file has inkscape specific tags in in it, so maybe it’s all done within inkscape.
Inkscape runs at a glacial pace on my mac; I prefer Affinity Designer-- which can’t open up this file without misaligning everything.

Truly epic. The actual dance starts around 3:30, btw.
