Abstract :
In this work we developed a program to visualize spherical maps (maps on the sphere composed by arcs of circles, not necessarily geodesic ones) allowing the user to modify the position of the observer. Besides, it is possible to insert vertices and edges in a spherical map. The program was implemented using the C++ and the libraries OpenGL and wxWindows.
