I've done the test , I backed up the current statusmap.c and 
statusmap.cgi files , then I commented out the lines 1599-1631 and run 
the make cgis  command  .
After the make is finished i copied the new statusmap.cgi to the sbin 
directory and accessed the map .

As I wished the map is centred on the "core" network device that all 
other connections branch from .
