NAME

       josm - Java OpenStreetMap Editor

SYNOPSIS

       josm

DESCRIPTION

       josm is an editor for OpenStreetMap written in Java 1.5.

       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, pro-
       ductive or unexpected ways.
