Has anybody done a map (an actual geographic

There was an attempt several years ago, but I think it fizzled out.
It would be interesting. Even better if it could also draw lines between points that have
direct connections.
A slight problem is that the physical location of nodes are not always known...
The open source genealogy program Gramps has some similar requirements. It uses a package
"Graphviz" that has lots of charting options. The documentation for that
package shows a network map as one example.
The other thing Gramps does is interface to map services like OpenStreetMap, which
suggests ways to make a "geographic map".
