Google maps

Good afternoon.
I have a site that I want to add a google map to.
I have already added the jQuery div replacement so that each of the
clickable element on that map have a title tag, however....
In listening with NVDA, it is 'cumbersome' to hear the map details each
time.
Is it considered good practice to add a 'skip map' link in the content right
before the map and hide it like we would with a 'skip navigation' link?

I was thinking that this would make it easier for people using a screen
reader to skip the elements if they choose as well as have a link for
keyboard only users to skip all of those tabstops.

Please let me know if I am on the right track here.

Thanks,
William

Thanks Alastair. Sounds like IRC could be a reasonably "all round" option
next time, with some helpful "how to" info etc.

The Mac IRC client "Textual" is reasonably good with VoiceOver - I checked
with Josh de Lioncourt (@Lioncourt) and that was the recommendation from the
Maccessibility podcast.
