Have you checked Shapes to load ESRI .shp files?
Apparently it does not load in Pharo 3.0. I am not sure how popular are .shp files. The map I used in my examples are SVG path description. Our next goal is to represent GPS coordinate and cities. We will then probably try to show some visually interesting data (e.g., flights, tweets). Having this run at the top of Roassal @ Amber will come for free. Stay tuned! Also, in december, when I will visit inria @ Lille, I would like to push Athens more into Roassal.
There are free shapefile maps in sites like this
Impressive website. Cheers, Alexandre

It is currently ad-hoc since we use a bitmap for the map, and locate cities with distances in pixels.
We have found description in SVG and found a couple of formulas to map longitude and latitude into pixels. So we will have something vectorial very soon.
If someone has some ideas, data, examples the we will be very happy to take them as challenges!

Very nice, Alex, I guess you are using shape files then ?

Hi!
During our pair coding session on Friday, we worked on a new builder for Roassal.
Here is short example:
| builder | builder := ROFranceMapBuilder new. builder shape circle size: 15; color: Color red; withLabel. builder showCities: #('Paris' 'Lyon' 'Marseille').
builder shape circle size: 25; color: Color blue; withLabel. builder show: 'Nice'.
builder open
It should produce: <Screen Shot 2013-11-15 at 4.53.30 PM.png>
There is no reference to external files. It runs out of the box.
