JOSM
JOSM can comfortably load 100MB of OSM XML data, but larger extracts will have severe performance issue.
Features
- Graphic Interface: main menu, toolbars (main, edit), status bar, dialogs; map view.
- Download OSM data (small amount) by bounding box: use slippy map, search by name, or tile number;
- Preset: tag templates grouped in a hierarchy; apply to the currently selected objects.
- Map Paint Styles: custom MapCSS styles;
- Validator: check and fix invalid data.
- Cursor symbols are informative.

Filter:
filter lines are evaluated from top down;
reverse filtering exclude every entity without a specific tag -highway:;
parts of a highway child (type:way & highway:);
only roads for public transport -((highway | child highway | untagged | public_transport) & -(highway=footway | highway=path | highway=steps | highway=track));
aggressive clean up natural: | waterway: | boundary: | landuse: | building: | leisure: | amenity:;
all natural and land use areas formed by relations child (type:relation & (natural:|landuse:));
disable tagless nodes type:node untagged;
using tag count to disable fully tagged objects;
disable/highlight recently modified objects to visualize progress new modified, (modified | user:CartoRD);
highlight stale data timestamp:2009-08-15/;
Map paint styles:
Address Validator for street addresses; Modified for modified objects;
Plugins:
