Maps don’t always need to be interactive.

With libgd-gis v0.4.1, maps can now include built-in legends, rendered directly into the image — fully server-side in Ruby.

This makes maps self-explanatory artifacts:
• no frontend
• no JavaScript
• no screenshots
• style-driven rendering
• optional post-processing via map.image
