Hot Spots Not Accurate on Website (Wordpress)

Hello Adobe Family,

My client is requesting an image with hotspots.

I am using Dreamweaver CC 2017 for Mac.

My dreamweaver mapping appears to be correct:

This is the HTML Code I am using:

<img src="http://www.welearn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Shape7test.png" usemap="#Map">

<map name="Map">

  <area shape="poly" coords="1390,302,1028,380,1318,830,1992,834,1998,664" href="https://www.google.com">

  <area shape="poly" coords="1028,352,1390,272,1996,190,1990,2,1018,6" href="https://www.facebook.com">

  <area shape="poly" coords="1000,396,662,894,1296,898" href="https://www.yahoo.com">

  <area shape="poly" coords="972,382,722,752,58,756,612,298" href="https://www.bing.com">

  <area shape="poly" coords="980,350,620,268,8,184,8,4,986,6" href="https://www.myspace.com">

</map>

My Wordpress test site hot spot coordinates don't appear correctly.

Please see below screenshots to see the mapping error:

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advanced : )

Image maps rarely work on responsive websites because hotspot coordinates invariably drift out of register with the image.  Is there some compelling reason you must use an image map for this?
