Jim,
You really want to use a GIS - even for quicklook to avoid
reinventing wheel.
I would recommend Khoros which has GIS toolbox -
as alternative there is a good o'l grass
which comes with source and so is ultimately extensible
both have a learning curve - at least few weeks
for more alternatives join the geoweb or gis-l list ...
