Changing OpenStreetMap

+ +

+ To change what you see, you need to edit the underlying data. +

+ +

+ To change the data, you need to use an editor. +

+
+ +
+
+

The iD Editor

+ + + +

+ Use on + + openstreetmap.org + +

+
+
+ +
+
+ + + +

JOSM

+ +

+ Another popular editor is JOSM, it is an extensible editor for OpenStreetMap. +

+ +

+ It is more complicated than iD, and does not work from a web + browser. +

+ +

+ However, JOSM can be faster to use than iD, and has more + capabilities (mutiple data layers, filters, ...). +
