We will always be interested in finding ways for third-party ui's to bring value.
I don't know if anything major changed with ui builder but i can make sure the latest version gets published.

Yeah I see the reasons behind using internal data for it (certainly simplifies things a bit). Would I be correct in assuming that each quest would have only a single (or few) POIs or ROIs? IE, if a quest had a large number of spawn points for the update, it would be shown as a ROI instead of a large number of individual POIs? I think that's one of the main draws I can see.
The main reason I ask is that there are some things that don't have official maps that would benefit from ROIs and POI filtering.
