JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap editor) is a free software desktop editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata created in Java, originally developed by Immanuel Scholz and currently maintained by Dirk Stöcker.[4] The editing tool contains advanced features[5] that are not present in OSM's default online editor, iD.

Features

Some notable features of JOSM are importing GPX files (GPS tracks),[6] working with aerial imagery (including WMS, TMS and WMTS protocols), support for multiple cartographic projections, layers, relations editing,[7] data validation tools, data filtering, offline work,[8] presets and rendering styles.[9] JOSM provides more than 200 keyboard shortcuts for the core functions.[10]

Many additional features (like tools for drawing buildings, adding Wikipedia links or viewing data in 3D) are available through the plugins.[11] [12] [13] [14] There are more than 100 of them in the repository.[15]

History

Usage

The highest number of edits in OSM are done using JOSM.[27] The software was used to perform several large scale OSM imports, including TIGER data in the United States.[28]

JOSM can also be used for editing an OSM sister project OpenHistoricalMap.[29] It's included as a package in many Linux distributions like Ubuntu,[30] [31] Debian,[32] Fedora,[33] Arch Linux[34] and the OSGEO Live DVD[35]

Various tutorials are available. The LearnOSM Tutorial, translated in 16 languages, has a section on JOSM.[36] It covers the editing process, the tools, the plugins, the presets, the imagery functionalities, conflict resolution and other features.
