OpenStreetMap¶
Tools for mapping the world¶
OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. 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.
A number of programs have been included: JOSM, Merkaartor, Osmosis, Osm2pgsql, and a number of small command utilities. In addition recent sample data for the FOSS4G host city and a number of JOSM plugins have been included.
