But anyways, what do you mean by "useful"? what are the uses of a map? how can i improve it? And i mean, fair use, nothing against the spirit of the game.

please, feel free to give some advice.

Umm, I thought about it, but couldnt think of any application which cannot be done on a normal 2d map but would need a 3d view. Eg: An invasion planner with groups, tasks and email alerts... hmm...

The following can be implemented (i think) if all the coordinates you have got are really accurate.
Well, if you can get the elevation information, somehow write a script to let us know the shortest path from point A to point B. In regnum (esp Ignis) the shortest distance is not a straight line because some objects/slopes are not 'climbable' while others are. Probably this has got something to do with the slope. I would certainly use this tool if I could find the shortest way from gate to arena, or gate to tenax, altaruk to mede/mele. I am not sure whether it is doable, but this is all I could come up with

Edit:
Again, I didnt even go into the computational complexity of finding the slope between each point on the way between A and B. Maybe there is a proven free algorithm/matlab package for this already, I have no idea.
