Along a parallel track, we have been using MapPoint to queue up a region of
GIS data, and then do a MapPoint->Excel->xml->Jaxb->Java conversion so that
we can populate agents with GIS attributes. Straightforward.

Subject: [FRIAM] Route66 & GIS
Here's an example of the sort of map easily obtained with Route66, a
map program for Mac and Windows:
http://backspaces.net/files/Paseo.jpgWe've been looking into GIS based modeling as part of our Wed Tech
meetings. Reading some of the GIS tutorials, I was surprised to see
that many of the maps are simply raster files, with the right
annotations to make them "programmable". I suspect we could use a map
like the above, with a fairly simple street layer, and toss it into
repast or netlogo.
