Am not sure this is all relevant, but...  here's a couple links I found
while digging around recently - possible things to add to the README.maps
file. 

Tiger 2 APRS converter - looks dated, however:

Huge list of GIS tools and such, also has format descriptions:

Looks like this may be a good converter, but I've not D/L'ed yet:
