While doing what you want to do is technically possible because you could find a free website creator and do what you want to, time spent on finding one that satisfies your needs would be probably close to time spent on learning basics of HTML and building your own.
Maybe the better question is why you want to do something like that? Wouldn't it be easier for you to just display your map, leave links somewhere nearby and put notes there and everything in a text file? I imagine your project as some kind of D&D RPG session or alike, so I'm not entirely sure why you can't display your map, have player say "I want to see G3 city" and it'd open a tab next to it with description of G3 city in a plain text. Sure, this isn't really pretty, but you could write it as simple as that:
<html>
<body>
<img src="images/map.png" />
<br />
<a href="descriptions/G3.txt" target="_blank">G3</a>
<a href="descriptions/F4.txt" target="_blank">F4</a>
<!-- and whatever else you need -->
</body>
</html>To me this would be a good start and a good motivation for you to learn how you can afterwards put those links right on the map, maybe make a small popup box instead of new tab and so on. And you learn useful skills while doing so as well, HTML is really simple, it's your call how deep you want to dig into it. I could now tell you about css, javascript, web frameworks, bootstrap, vue and friends, but if you don't need it then nobody tells you to go learn them, look how short my code above is, you can save it as index.html, create images folder, put your map.png there and it already works. Add descriptions folder, put G3.txt and F4.txt files and you already have those txt files opening in a new tab. Is it the prettiest thing that you've ever seen? Hell no, but it's decent enough and most importantly works while having 8 lines total, from which just 3 are making whole logic.
Time spent on gaining knowledge is never a wasted time. Knowledge is the only thing you can never lose in your life. It is the thing that values and defines you as a person where everything else can fail. And if you ever need to do something similar, you already know where to start.

i know this will sound very stupid but if you have no experience with HTML why don't you make this in a word document or in a pdf. It is possible to create using multiple files or even one long file, doesn't need to be an offline website. edit: or powerpoint :p

yes powerpoint is another idea but i think is less free to made what i want? But sure i compare the difference and i use this if i don't found nothing

i need to create a simple website offline. I need a program can i download.SO much friend say " Learn here "link tutorial html and blablabla " I DON'T want learn HTML or similar....
answer for this part: wampserver
you can set up the ready packages(like wordpress) at wampserver
but
you'd better ask that question on Reddit.

But like justArchi said above, getting into these tools takes some time too...
Maybe it's more interesting for you to create a PowerPoint presentation...
+ Powerpoint offers you some easy to use animations like "slide" to a site (map) etc...
Comment has been collapsed.
You still have to learn things and theres a difference between "using templates/plugins" and "creating own content"...
That's why i think he should use something like PowerPoint... :)

ehm i don't understand this site , is not offline?
Comment has been collapsed.
it's a tool to create online content like webpages, but you can save these sites on your computer and use them offline...
like a testbuild for an online version...
Think about looking for a programm like PowerPoint... much much easier...

I've used "FrontPage Express" and "Adobe Dreamweaver" software to make offline webpages without writing any html, though I'm not sure if either is still around these days (it was many years ago I used them).

Go oldschool HTML...
Tools to create these image map things were pretty common in the 90s. Don't see them much anymore since everyone decided they were dumb, for various reasons (mostly search engine indexing). For your usage though, it might be perfect.

I also recommend learning HTML as you have more control over how it looks. There are CMS' you can use, like Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal, but they aren't necessary for small sites. You can try Wix, Weebly, or Squarespace, but they are not offline editors... but they do fit in the drag and drop category.

mmmh... like Wix , after i have finish i can download the site to use this offline?
Comment has been collapsed.
Since I've never used Wix, I have no idea how their page view permissions are (that is make it viewable only by you - as long as you are logged in). Otherwise you can download the web pages after they've been published and delete the site.
Just an FYI: you can also do the same thing using Google Sites, as the new version has drag and drop capability and simple to use.
Here is a beginner tutorial somebody made that will show you what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w05NIgHNzWs
Also, without needing to bother making a website or learning HTML, you can accomplish what you are wanting to do in Microsoft Word, or a free alternative to Word (such as Google Docs) if you don't have it.

To create text-based games with links: http://textadventures.co.uk/squiffy
Pretty easy to use, it's a simple markup language using brackets and colons.

Although it's good to know basic HTML you can still do it without knowing a thing about it. Just search whatever you want, take the code you find and use it to suit your needs. It's not an important project so you don't have to worry about any real problems a regular site has to deal with.
You can start by searching basic things like "How to add a link in HTML", "How to add an image in HTML", etc. It's going to be way faster than learning how to use a new software and you'll also end up knowing more about websites.
Good luck! ;)

What you are looking for is a "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get) Editor.
There are a lot of them out there and some of them are free.
You could try this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36179
When you want to add links/buttons on your image it's called "imagemap". Here is a small tutorial how to do it in the program I linked before: http://juandev.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-make-image-map-in-expression-web.html
As you see, it's just 5 little steps
It's very simple and feels like word...
Just one tip: create at first the pages with the images and infos and stuff and after that create the "home"
