I'm not sure how much will come out of this, but you may be interested to know I'm currently working on an interactive map of New Eden using a pretty hefty mapping program called ArcGIS. When finished, you'll be able to dynamically display all the basic info found on Dotlan, as well as view/change/test routes fairly simply.
The 2D version is progressing rather quickly, though I will need some assistance from CCP (in the form of x,y,z system coordinates) to do the 3D version. I'll make some screenshots and upload them when I have a chance.

The 2D version will look cool, but won't be much more useful than Dotlan. What I'm aiming for is a full 3D interactive map using ArcScene, but trying to manually assign x,y,z coords for the systems is not something I'd want to have to do. I assume CCP has them sitting around somewhere, and if they're willing to share them, I could do some pretty cool things with them. (Cool if you are, like me, a cartographer by profession)

The data dump has all that, I don't have a link handy, though.
I've never used the data dump (don't even know how to, sadly...). If you happen to find a link, send it my way!

Thanks Tippia, that is indeed exactly what I'd need. (I can script a bit, and I use SQL in my mapping programs, but I am not familiar enough with SQL programs to get at the information I'd need). If you can get me the same list for high & null I'd throw some isk your way.

Thanks Tippia, I've been fiddling around with SQL Express since your last post and I haven't figured much out yet. That is perfect.

I too would like to see what you come up with.
I'm uploading a video to Youtube of what I have so far; I'll link it in a new thread when it is done. (it is quite large, so it will take awhile...)
I apologize for hijacking your thread Mik Nostrebor, but I can tell you that I am planning on creating some regional pdf maps of my own, though they will have some cool features (such as the ability to turn on/off layers such as security status, number of moons, etc...). No idea on the time frame though, this is purely a personal project because I enjoy working with the software.

For anyone interested in my project, here's a link to the video:

I created a new thread so as to not hijack this one.
