MapStructure is Nasal-space framework (designed by Philosopher) for developing Nasal/Canvas-based mapping displays, which can be used in both, aircraft MFDs/instruments, but also in GUI dialogs like the airport selection dialog. MapStructure is all about separating the visualization of the map from the visualized data itself, and the way it is shown to the user. By following this approach, we can use a shared back-end to implement layered maps for different needs, without having to duplicate any code.
As of 11/2013, all this is work in progress and not yet finished, we're hoping to replace the old map.nas code either in FG 3.0 or 3.2.
