NAISMap is the FIRST interactive GIS on the web. NAISMap allows you to
select data layers, order them, set their fill and outline colours,
fill patterns, outline types, etc. NAISMap uses a vector database from
the National Atlas Information Service
(URL: http://www-nais.ccm.emr.ca/) which it renders into GIF as per
the users instructions. NAISMap produces national as well as regional
views of the generated maps.
No, version 1.0 does not generate a legend, but look for this in
the next release...
