Alex,

I hope I understand what you want to tell us.
Nagvis can make a distinction between a host/service, a hostgroup, a 
servicegroup OR a map.
So, if you want a general map with one symbol representing the 4 sites, 
you can make a general map with on that general map, one symbol, 
respresenting a sub-map (I can't remember the Nagvis nomination by heart).
Then you create the submap and on that submap you can put 4 symbols, one 
for each site (considered your site is hostgroup in Nagios).

To make things more clear, before you can represent the status of a 
sub-map (or child-map) on a general map, the child-map has to be created 
first in Nagvis.
Hope this helps.
Don't hesitate to contact me if this explanation isn't clear enough,

Frederik
