JOSM (About this soundlisten (help·info)) (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

  • The first changeset was created on 27 September 2005.[16]
  • The first beta version (which required Java 5)[17] was made available on 4 October 2005 and JOSM 1.0 was released on 22 January 2006.[1]
  • The current versioning scheme, using code changeset number, was introduced in 2008.[18]
  • In 2014 the project logo was replaced with new one, which won a design contest.[19] From this year stable releases are identified with additional YY.MM internal version number (following r6763 - 14.01[20]), however they may not exactly reflect the release date.[21]
  • Since revision 10786 (16.07) released on 12 August 2016, support for Java versions earlier than 8 has been dropped.[22]
  • Compatibility with Java 9 added on 2 September 2017, revision 12712 (17.08).[23]
  • JOSM logo refreshed on 8 August 2019 to the current artwork.[24]
  • Java 16 support added on 18 March 2021 Since revision 17580 (21.02).[25]
  • JOSM had new macOS and Windows installers that both ship Java 16 and JavaFX 16 and Debian launcher required openjfx since revision 18193 (21.08) released on 2 November 2021.[26]

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.
