then while playing, spam your loc into your log file, read the log file, place that position, into the datasets, and bam.. you have your position in the world, in fact thats probubly how the maps work on live?

also you could linearly get the data you needed to create the empty maps from the even files themselves, using many different ways to extract the data you would need. :/

Not sure I should even encourage someone to develop this tool by mentioning that its that easy...
It's not just a hypothetical: multiple people have created apps that do exactly that (watch your logs to show your position on a map).

The only one I could find mentioned in the wiki was http://www.zlizeq.com/ZlizEQ_Projects-ZlizEQMap, but if you search the forums (which is usually better with Google than with the forum search) I'm pretty sure there have been others.
