Yes, that is what we should use instead.

Hello,
In the User Agent Working Group, we're talking what user agents can
do to help users navigate, including making navigation mechanisms
readily available. I am charged with an action to propose a technique
for the Web Content Techniques: use MAP to create navigation bars/group
related links.
In the 5 May Techniques document, section 4.6.1 ("Grouping and
bypassing links") [1], an example shows <P class="nav">. Should
use the following markup instead?
<MAP name="map1">
<P>Navigate the site:
<A href=".." shape="rect" coords="..">Access Guide</a> |
<A href=".." shape="rect" coords="..">Go</A> |
<A href=".." shape="circle" coords="..">Search</A> |
<A href=".." shape="poly" coords="..">Top Ten</A>
</MAP>
User agents may assume that the MAP element is used to create
navigation mechanisms (whether image maps or more accessible
ones with rich content).
