I don't know that anyone is working on this, no. NAV's only
"GIS"-related information are the geo-coordinates of rooms, but these
are stored as simple point datatypes (latitude/longitude numbers stored
as (x,y) points), as NAV doesn't currently have any need for geospatial
queries.
If you have something useful to contribute, we would be glad to hear
about :)
