As Dave implied, any bitmap editor program will give you pixel 
coordinates.

>From the Wikipedia article on Image Maps:

"It is possible to create image maps by hand, using a text editor, however 
doing so requires that the web designer knows how to code HTML and 
also requires them to know the coordinates of the areas that they wish to 
place over the image. As a result, most image maps coded by hand are 
simple polygons.

"Because creating image maps in a text editor requires much time and 
effort, there are many applications that allow the web designer to quickly 
and easily create image maps much as they would create shapes in a 
vector graphics editor. Examples of these are Adobe´s Dreamweaver, 
KImageMapEditor (for KDE), and the imagemap plugin found in GIMP."

These online image map editors are also linked from that article:
