You had mentioned to me earlier about GDAL/OGR from the infamous
Kyngchaos package, right?
Yes.
Do you have the command "gdalinfo" and "ogrinfo"
Yes:
refsvik$ gdalinfo
Usage: gdalinfo [--help-general] [-mm] [-stats] [-nogcp] [-nomd]
[-noct] [-checksum] [-mdd domain]* datasetname
refsvik$
refsvik$ ogrinfo
Usage: ogrinfo [--help-general] [-ro] [-q] [-where restricted_where]
[-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-fid fid]
[-sql statement] [-al] [-so] [--formats]
datasource_name [layer [layer ...]]
refsvik$
- they will be your best friends soon.
I am not completely sure how these two specific programs from the gdal
package relates to the challenge of outputting a png from 2 shapefiles
(map and legend).

Kjell,
if you wonder about axis ordering find a short intro on the OSGeo Wiki:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Axis_Order_Confusion
Most importantly: don't despair, others have failed on this one before. Generally speaking - if you have a spatial data set without exactly knowing the source CS you are doomed.
How did you get the GPS-data into your system? Using the software gpsbabel and
ogr2ogr should help you to fully automate the process. If you need to repeat this
process frequently you might want to use shp2img to create the image - no legend
here but you might add the legend manually anyway as it will probably not change as
quickly either. While you are at it - one step further will bring you to setting up
a full fledged service, there is a whole bunch out there like a nice and shiny
OpenLayers & featureserver.org combo or use MapServer as traditional OGC WMS to
serve the data in a common standard interface.
Best regards,
Arnulf.
