Bio::Factory::MapFactoryI - A Factory for getting markers

    # get a Map Factory somehow likely from Bio::MapIO system

    while( my $map = $mapin->next_map ) {
	print "map name is ", $map->name, " length is ", 
	    $map->length, " ", $map->units, "\n";
	$mapout->write_map($map);
    }

This interface describes the necessary minimum methods for getting Maps from a data stream. It also supports writing Map data back to a stream.
