I have WebMap, mainly because I can find it free on the web.
    http://www.city.net/cnx/software/webmap.html

The server needs a maps reader program or CGI_, or the server software
itself must support maps.  Since I don't have one, I'm not sure how to set
it up.  Also maps have different formats (I.E. netscape, CERN, or NCSA.).

Hope this helps.
