NAME

       josm - Java OpenStreetMap Editor

SYNOPSIS

       josm

DESCRIPTION

       josm is an extensible editor for OpenStreetMap written in Java 6.

       OpenStreetMap  is  a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data
       such as street maps to anyone who wants  them.  It  allows  you  to  view,  edit  and  use
       geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.

       The  project  was  started  because  most maps you think of as free actually have legal or
       technical restrictions on their use, holding back people  from  using  them  in  creative,
       productive or unexpected ways.
