Mapsoft2
A collection of tools and libraries for working with maps and geo-data.
About
We started writing programs for handling GPS-data and maps since
first GPS-receivers appeared in our hiking group at 1997-1998. First it
was tools for downloading tracks, putting them on a map, editing, and
uploading back to GPS. When we started creating our own maps:
hiking maps
of Moscow region and some
mountain regions.
All programs for working with geodata, raster and vector maps, SRTM-data,
etc, have been collected to mapsoft project.
Mapsoft2 is an attempt to rewrite these programs fixing some
fundamental problems and improving the code.

Here - more or less stable programs, - unstable
programs, interface will be changed, 
- unusable programs.
