MapsetEditor is a software application designed to create, edit, and organize map sets — structured collections of map data such as tiles, layers, and metadata used in geographic information systems, game development, and virtual environments. A map set defines how individual maps relate, how tiles are arranged, and how overlays and attributes are described for downstream applications.

The editor provides a graphical interface to assemble maps and layers, a data model to store tile sources, coordinate reference system information, and metadata fields such as title, author, and license. It supports importing data from common GIS formats and exporting map sets into formats compatible with target platforms. Validation tools check tile continuity, spatial alignment, and the presence of required metadata. A scripting interface enables automation and batch processing of repetitive edits. The application also supports simple versioning or change tracking for map sets and can generate configuration files or manifests used by other software to load the set.

In typical workflows, a user creates a new map set, adds maps or tile sources, assigns projection and extent, defines the tiling scheme and overlays, attaches metadata, runs validation, and then exports for deployment in a GIS project, web map, or game engine.

MapsetEditor aims to integrate with standard GIS data pipelines and is designed to interoperate with common tile and vector formats. It is used by professionals and hobbyists who manage modular map content across multiple projects.
