  Description     : map editor for OpenStreetMap.org

Merkaartor is a map editor for OpenStreetMap.org,
the free editable map of the whole world.

Features:

 * download from and upload to the OpenStreetMap server
 * open .osm and .gpx files
 * create and move trackpoints, ways, and areas
 * add tags, delete features
 * reverse, split and join ways
 * visualize some leisure/landuse areas and road types
 * displaying GPS information

I plan to reintroduce and maintain Merkaartor on behalf of
the Debian GIS Project team. This is motivated by the recent
update of Merkaartor (which occured after its remove from Sid).
