Its all excel. I run around hitting the Loc button, then take it into excel, delete the lines that aren't loc related. then Text to Coluns the loc lines. It takes awhile to get just the numbers out of it but its quick and dirty and I don't have to write a parser or have some fancy program to do it.
After I have just a column of X and a column of Y then I do a scatter graph on it. Cut and paste that into Photoshop and you have a working outline to create a pretty map on. Thats where I run into problems, I suck at pretty.
I think we could use this same technique to do a 3d map, I was thinking about hitting stormhold today and trying it on a much larger area. The nice thing about this excel method you could do bits and pieces anytime you wanted and just line them up with photoshop. Also I think (but haven't tested) that I should be able to sort in a way so that all the non-loc information goes to the top so its easy to delete.
