alternative Status Map?

Are there alternative Status Maps for Nagios?

Current implementation has at least these limitations:

1. With lots of monitored hosts, the map becomes unreadable / does not 
fit on the screen.

The ideal would be if status map allowed to draw selected host groups 
only (right now, it allows host group selection, but the whole map with 
all hosts is rendered anyway; not selected hosts won't have 
icons/descriptions, but it doesn't help much with readability)


2. All nagios users can see the whole network structure for all hosts.

Even if a given web user is not authorised to view certain hosts, he/she 
will see them anyway on the status map (without icons/descriptions).
It can be even viewed as a security flaw.


Is the only solution compiling and running several nagios instances?
