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.
