OpenMap

BBN Technologies' OpenMap TM package is an Open Source JavaBeans-based programmer's toolkit. Using OpenMap, you can quickly build applications and applets that access data from legacy databases and applications. OpenMap provides the means to allow users to see and manipulate geospatial information. OpenMap is under constant development - the latest version is OpenMap 5.1.11, released July 20, 2015. Note that with v5.0, you need to be using Java 5 or later. A complete list of updates is maintained in the CHANGELOG file in the package.

You can download a copy for free, use it, and make changes to it. Be sure to read the license before you do.

Follow OpenMap on Twitter ([@openmap] (https://twitter.com/openmap)) for announcements about new releases and updates to the code base. If you need help, you can post questions on the Google OpenMap-Users Group forum. For a historical perspective, the old [BBN openmap-users mailing list archive] (http://openmap.bbn.com/mailArchives/openmap-users/) is still available.

Since OpenMap is open source, we welcome additions and changes from the user community. We've incorporated a number of contributions, with plenty of submissions available to the user community separate from the official distribution.
