I do think it's a neat feature as far as bells and whistles go. I myself don't intend on creating or porting such a feature for IIP though. Perhaps at a later date when I have covered all of the standard *nuke features I may give the map display a try. After this next version of IIP I'll be working on allowing external modules to be loaded and give an example module so others can add features that I don't plan on doing such as stock quotes and weather information. My main reasons for not doing so is that such features often, if not always, require an agreement between the content provider and the end user and I do not want to create tools to allow users to circumvent such agreements.
