Java Map Editor For Mac

Java Map Editor is a map-viewing application written in Java that features multiple layers, many import formats (including Shapefiles, DXF, GeoTIFF), and many map projections.

Java Map Editor is an application for viewing and editing maps in various formats which was originally written for producing maps of whale distributions for Web pages but has grown out of control.

Java Map Editor should run on any Java 2 environment, and has been tested on Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
