=head1 NAME

Bio::MapIO - A Map Factory object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::MapIO;
    my $mapio = new Bio::MapIO(-format => "mapmaker",
			       -file   => "mapfile.map");

    while( my $map = $mapio->next_map ) { 
	# get each map
	foreach my $marker ( $map->each_element ) {
	    # loop through the markers associated with the map
	}
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the Factory object for reading Maps from a data stream or file.
