[thelist] A map

[Judah McAuley]

Just today I came across an open-source project for using GIS data to 
product various sorts of user-configurable maps. Its called Mapserver 
(oddly enough) and is available at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/

This may be complete overkill for what you need but talking with the 
users there might point you in a more suitable direction.

Cheers,
Judah
