The question on litmus.com on image map support is from 04/2014

Image maps do not support ALT tags, when images aren't loaded the ALT text isn't displayed in some clients.

Image map usage generally results in using large images which can cause deliverability issues and hinder download speed (especially important to mobile users).

And most importantly, The iOS (iphone/ipad) doesn't scale the image map link coordinates when the image is scaled which breaks the links. Since iOS represents a large majority of email opens (iPhone + iPad = 38% via http://emailclientmarketshare.com/) this is important.
