Hey Craig,Thanks for responding, so to be clear a theme park can have its own map created by the graphic artists that work at the theme park company, this map is sometimes 2D or sometimes a 3D map that really has no notion of lat long coordinates or GPS. What I am proposing is that we have the ability to inject GPS coordinates into this creative map through some mechanism that understands what the GPS coordinates of each point in this creative map are. So thats where the google map comes in, the google or bing map would potentially have lat long coordinates of every point in a theme park, so now the challenge is how do we transfer that knowledge inside this 2D or 3D creative map so that we can run neo4j traversal algorithms inside a map that has been injected with GPS data. A theme park is just the beginning, imagine having the power to inject this information into any 2D or 3D map, that would be pretty amazing. In essence I am doing this so that the creative map itself can use neo4j and be highly interactive and meaningful. Let me know if that's still unclear and if so lets talk on skype. Regards
