=head1 NAME

Bio::Map::SimpleMap - A MapI implementation handling the basics of a Map 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::Map::SimpleMap;
    my $map = new Bio::Map::SimpleMap(-name => 'genethon',
				      -type => 'Genetic',
				      -units=> 'cM',
				      -species => $human);
    foreach my $marker ( @markers ) { # get a list of markers somewhere
	$map->add_element($marker);
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the basic implementation of a Bio::Map::MapI.  It handles the
essential storage of name, species, type, and units as well as in
memory representation of the elements of a map.

Subclasses might need to redefine or hardcode type(), length() and
units().
