Potlatch
Potlatch is the classic OpenStreetMap editor, combining an efficient user interface with attractive presentation and a number of powerful features.
What is Potlatch?
Potlatch is an OpenStreetMap editor for Mac and Windows desktop.
The current version is 3.0 which runs as a desktop application.[1] Previous versions (2.x, 1.x) ran as in-browser editors on openstreetmap.org using Adobe Flash Player.
You can download the latest version at https://www.systemed.net/potlatch.
Potlatch's distinguishing characteristic is that it's extraordinarily ergonomic for moderately familiar users, without ever having too complex an interface. With a handful of keyboard shortcuts you can zip about the map and perform common editing actions efficiently: for example, you can skip 10 nodes back/forward along a way with one keypress, jump to the other end of the way with another, then assign a set of multiple tags to the way (which you've previously recorded) with another single keypress[2].
As yet, Potlatch does not run reliably on Linux systems due to Adobe AIR for Linux being discontinued. However, it will reportedly run under Wine.[3]
Development of 3.0 was supported financially by the OpenStreetMap Foundation.[4]
