One possible alternate way to achieve what you want may be to create a bookmark for each point/place on the map that you want one to be able to find. A bookmark remembers a place and magnification. So if you have a map of the US, you could zoom in on Montana, and create a bookmark called Montana. If one clicks on that bookmark, it would take them to that memorized zoom of that portion of the map.
This may not be a viable solution for you, but perhaps it could make a tough situation a little easier.
My best,
