GIF screen shots of can be accomplished with many available
programs (such as the import command in Imagemagick) as
an alternative to available postscript output, or converting postscript
files to other formats. You can also display VGF output in GPMAP and
send the output to a gif file.

You can add cities.tbl to $GEMTBL/nmap/mapovl.nmap, although there is no
facility to filter. Rather, you would want to create appropriate
subsets based on typical view regions.
