Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). JOSM (<phonos file="GT JOSM.ogg">listen</phonos>) (Java OpenStreetMap Editor) is a free software desktop editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata created in Java. It has a lot of advanced features,[4] but also more complicated user interface than default online editor iD.

Features

Some notable features of JOSM are importing GPX files (GPS tracks),[5] working with aerial imagery (including WMS, TMS and WMTS protocols), support for multiple cartographic projections, layers, relations editing,[6] data validation tools, data filtering, offline work,[7] presets and rendering styles.[8] JOSM provides more than 200 keyboard shortcuts for the core functions.[9]

Many additional features (like tools for drawing buildings, adding Wikipedia links or viewing data in 3D) are available through the plugins.[10][11][12][13] There are more than 100 of them in the repository.[14]

History

First changeset was created on 27 September 2005.[15] First beta version (which required Java 5[16]) was made available on 4 October 2005 and JOSM 1.0 has been released on 22 January 2006.[1] Current versioning scheme, using code changeset number, was introduced in 2008.[17]

In 2014 project logo has been replaced with the new artwork, which won a design contest.[18]

Usage

The highest number of edits in OSM is done using JOSM.[19] The software was used to perform several large scale OSM imports, including TIGER data in the United States.[20]

JOSM can also be used for editing an OSM sister project OpenHistoricalMap.[21] It's included as a package in many Linux distributions like Ubuntu [22][23] and the OSGEO Live DVD[24]

Various tutorials are available. The LearnOSM Tutorial, translated in 16 languages, has a section on JOSM.[25] It covers the editing process, the tools, the plugins, the presets, the imagery functionalities, conflict resolution and other features.
