Answer 1

Well that's just the most ridiculous response I've ever heard.
1: There are plenty of very large and successful companies who still serve their customers through sites running image maps.
2: Image maps are still part of the HTML 5 specification so browsers should support them - mobile or otherwise.
More to the point - up until now iOS + Safari handled image maps perfectly well. All of a sudden a portion of mobile users on many, many sites will experience difficulty navigating through the site. That's pretty bad.
And - who do I want to serve with my site? As many people as possible thank you very much. It's a very, very bad developer who only targets the latest devices and platforms. Sure - we have to draw the line somewhere.. maybe IE6 is a cut off point but it's a simple case of looking at your webstats and making sure your site works for as many people as possible.
For many, large and very successful sites that use image maps (of which there are many) a simple 'fix' and move to responsive solution could involve months of development, testing and investment.
chrisnetonline - in answer to your question, assuming you have jquery on your site, a fix would look something like this:
  $("body").on('touchend', 'area', function () {
                window.location = $(this).attr("href");
But - you may want to wrap your image map in a wrapper element and target that rather than the entire body tag. And - you'll also need to check how far the user has scrolled so you don't trigger a redirect when they scroll.
Like I say - this is just a demo of a possible solution and would require testing and refining to suit your particular requirements.
Ideally there would be a better solution than this though.
Ideally the problem wouldn't be there in the first place.
