Merkaartor is a free OpenStreetMap editor that is under the GNU General Public License . It is available for Linux , Windows , Mac OS X (Prerelease, Intel architectures only ), as well as FreeBSD , NetBSD and OpenBSD . Most Linux distributions and the three BSD variants provide versions that can be installed directly from the medium. A portable version is available for Windows .

The editor is Qt -based and works according to the WYSIWYG principle. The map view works with anti-aliasing and can show streets, buildings etc. transparently and show aerial photos for comparison. The program has a style editor for the map display. GPS tracks can be recorded live using a GPS device or a gpsd server. The output of the data in various formats such as bitmap and SVG is possible.

Merkaartor can work with data from the OpenStreetMap server and upload them again after editing. The program supports the OpenStreetMap format and the GPS Exchange format and can import NMEA data.
