JOSM (
listen ) (Java OpenStreetMap Editor) is a free software desktop editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata created in Java. It has a lot of advanced features, but also more complicated user interface than default online editor iD.
Some notable features of JOSM are importing GPX files (GPS tracks), working with aerial imagery (including WMS, TMS and WMTS protocols), support for multiple cartographic projections, layers, relations editing, data validation tools, data filtering, offline work, presets and rendering styles. JOSM provides more than 200 keyboard shortcuts for the core functions.
First changeset was created on 27 September 2005. First beta version (which required Java 5) was made available on 4 October 2005 and JOSM 1.0 has been released on 22 January 2006. Current versioning scheme, using code changeset number, was introduced in 2008.
In 2014 project logo has been replaced with the new artwork, which won a design contest. From this year stable releases are identified with additional YY.MM internal version number (following r6763 - 14.01), however they may not exactly reflect the release date.
