#777: Generate Map and output pixel X/Y co-ordinate

This may exist already but I couldnt find anything similar.
I would like to utilize this product to correctly position the device
status icons for a monitoring system we are working with, specifically
Nagios with NagVis.
I would like to be able to have this software generate a map of, lets say
Florida to a best fit of maybe 1280x1024 map image size output as a png or
jpg . Then I would like it to take a delimited list of addresses and
instead of creating an icon on the map (which is what every example I have
seen has) I would like it to export a list of the x/y pixel co-ordinates
for the generated image.
NagVis works by taking a background image and mapping the dynamic status
icons to a pixel co-ordinate. I would like to try and have the icons
mapped in the correct location as close to automatically as I can get. If
I could get it to export the pixel x/y locations I can create a script to
make the "mapping" within the NagVis app and minimize user error.
Thanks
Ken
