"What you've got so far isn't really a mapping system. It's the underpinnings of a vector-based drawing system. Indeed, basic SVG gives you as much, and if that's all you need, then you don't need to cloud your understanding with an additional standard beyond SVG." Sounds good until the client asks you to take the plant design and put it on the geography as seen and do a fly through. Then you need 3D. SVG only gets you a map and in many cases, not one good enough for real time performance in dispatch applications. That is why the real time dispatch systems use proprietary display formats backed up with ESRI data sources. len
