Editing OpenStreetMap is the process of making changes to the map data - such as adding roads, pubs or changing names of features. Several editors can be used to edit features in the OpenStreetMap database.

Choice of editors

Because OpenStreetMap is an open platform with an editing API, there are many other editors to choose from, some with a simplified sub-set of functionality, some operating on specific platforms such as mobile devices. The following table lists the options.

In the past there were some other choices such as Osmeditor (QT) and osmpedit, however these are no longer maintained, and no longer interface with the latest API.
