We have to pleasure of announcing the release of *Merkaartor 0.16.0*.

Besides the usual bug fixes, the main nicenesses are:

   - Added the possibility to show a lat/lon grid
   - Support for WMS-C servers (see
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Merkaartor/Documentation#WMS-C_Servers
   )
   - Support for "standard" (as in
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Tile*Map*Service_Specification)
   TMS servers
   - Allow to tile (and cache) arbitrary WMS'es (only EPSG:4326 and google
   projection supported)
   - Allow google maps links and others in goto and download dialogs
   - Added a projection editor
   - Enhanced Relations support
   - Geo-tagging of photos inside Merkaartor, importing them without track
   layer and displaying them directly on the map
   - Improved SHP support
   - Support for JOSM remote protocol on port 8111
   - Added Ramer-Douglas-Peucker simplification of ways (in Roads menu)
   - and many tweaks and little things...
