Best map editting tool...

[Gregory S. Williamson]

The JUMP (Java Unified Mapping Platform) (<http://www.jump-project.org/> allows you to load a vector image and draw point, lines and polygons on it, saving the results in shape files, postGIS and several other options. I'm sure theree are others, but I've used JUMP happily and it is reasonably cross platform.

Hi,

I've just started to look at MapServer in conjunction with ka-map and I'm
impressed by what I've seen.

I'm looking to create a map of our factory site and need some advice as to
the best software to create the map.

I have a raster drawing of the site that I'd like to take and draw a proper
map on top of this and then lose the raster image.  I'd need to create roads
and buildings.

I've been searching around in Google and haven't come up with anything yet.
Does anyone know of a product that will do what I require? (Open Source
preferred).

Many thanks in advance,


Neil.
