Just one question about the Ai (Adobe illustratore native vectorial file format).
I have found a link regarding its format (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/fileformats-faq/part3/section-11.html).

I would like to know what do you mean by enhancing gvSIG's Map saved in the Ai format with "other tools". 
With "tools", do you mean open-source tools (that is, softwares)?

For example,  I use Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/) and Inkscape.
Regarding Scribus I have found a feature request to support Ai in the future (http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=4121). At present, I think it is not possible to use it.

To sum up, did you try  some open-source softwares after saving the Map in the Ai format (Gimp, Scribus, Inkscape)?

Best regards and thanks a lot for all your work :-)
It is really really promising.

Silvio
