“The developers of GMAP are pleased to announce a first public
release of their three years’ work under GPL. GMAP is a map viewer
with emphasis on temporal data. It hopes to evolve into a free and
powerful Geographical Information System. So far it works with The
U.S. Street Map Database / Alaska (see Bruce Perens’ http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/).

Although the distribution is not ready for public use yet,
everyone is welcomed to try it and share suggestions and ideas with
us. More information about development, mailing lists, downloads,
etc. can be found at http://academy.cas.cz/~gis.”
