Perhaps he's lost and needs to know where is.

I'd recommend programming it in assembly. The format of the maps is binary.
Let me know if you need any more help.

He said that it was an emergency, assembly won't do.

BTW I think all languages can do binary, at least all the ones that I know.

Map data cost > $100,000 USD (I should know).

Either way I would say he is WAY LOST. Try
