JOSM

What is JOSM?

JOSM is a feature-rich editing tool for the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project, written in the Java programming language. It enables users to load and work with various types of geospatial data, including GPX tracks, background imagery, and OSM data, which can be retrieved from both local and online sources. JOSM's core functionality allows users to edit the fundamental elements of OSM, such as nodes, ways, and relations, as well as their associated metadata tags. The application is open-source and licensed under the GPL, providing users with the flexibility to extend and customize its capabilities through the use of plugins
