4.3 Hot Region Function
Purpose:
The hot region function links a map to another map. When you add a map to another map as a hot
region, an icon of the link to the added map is shown on the main map. The added map is called child
map while the map to which you add the hot region is the parent map.
Note: A map can only be added as the hot region for one time.
