Globalexplorer wrote this in the readme and instructions of using the tracking room. However, he stated that it was complicated and that he would issue instructions if he had time. This was last Spring, so I guess he is not going to do it. I don't have the slightest clue on how to do it. I don't know how to use the tatukGIS reader either, and I can't find any instructions of how to do it.

This is the instruction in the readme:

Because Sh3Gen was completely relying on ingame visualization, and the dire restrictions of the SHIII
map station I decided I want to visualize the Sh3Gen data in an external application.
Sh3Gen Tracking Room Editions come with an option to export data that can be used with GIS
(geographical information) systems.
You will need to download a tool that can display the map data. I have optimized it for usage with the
(completely free) TatukGIS Viewer, a great program, but it’s possible to use it with other GIS tools
that can read GML files.
With Sh3Gen and the viewer you can now study the strategic situation like in a real tracking room.
Another great advantage is that you can now store and review your previous patrols, which was one
of the things I really wanted to have.
The GIS view contains all the data that you are used to from Sh3Gen, plus a lot more through the
data panels. There is now a detailed property table for every object in the map, while the SHIII Map is
restricted to hold all informations in a 19 character string.
This should be extremely interesting if you run it on a two monitor setup or a second computer. I
haven't tried that yet, but it should open up a whole lot of new possibilities!!
I don’t know of I will find the time to create documentation for the GIS part. Using the GIS initially
requires a little bit of learning, but is also extremely powerful.
I hope you catch up in the idea, and help others getting the most out of it. Unquote.

I wish I knew how to do it. In another of his readmes he states you can write on the maps and save itl, but he doesn't explain how to do it.:hmm::hmm:
