MapOSMatic est un service Web en Logiciel Libre qui vous permet de générer des cartes de villes en utilisant les données OpenStreetMap. La carte d'une ville est constituée de deux pages :

* la carte elle-même, découpée en carrés pour faciliter la recherche de rues ;

* un index des rues référencées selon les carrés de la carte.

Les cartes générées sont disponibles aux formats PNG, PDF et SVG et sont prêtes à être imprimées.

Les données utilisées pour la génération des cartes provenant d'OpenStreetMap, vous pouvez librement réutiliser, vendre, modifier, ... les cartes générées (en respectant la licence OpenStreetMap).
