JOSM is the "Java OpenStreetMap Editor", a desktop application originally developed by Immanuel Scholz and currently maintained by Dirk Stöcker. Its homepage is located at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ . You can download JOSM from there, or by clicking the following...


josm-tested.jar is a stable version of JOSM
josm-latest.jar is the latest development version
java web-start link to launch from here
josm-setup.exe Windows Installer


There are other editors for OpenStreetMap data, like the Potlatch online editor or Merkaartor. JOSM is a feature-rich editor with an interface which can seem complex at first. It also requires a little installation and configuration effort to get some plugin features working (particularly Yahoo imagery). Have a look at the comparison of editors if you're still unsure which editor to choose.

JOSM/Guide A guide taking you through getting started, downloading some data, basic editing and more advanced editing features. It is intended for beginners to read the guide from the beginning. This is a descriptive guide providing a simple introduction. Some details are intentionally left out.
JOSM Help This help manual should provide more exhaustive in-depth explanations of each JOSM feature. It is intended to be used as a reference manual, rather than reading from end-to-end. It is also accessible by pressing F1 within the application (context sensitive help)
