Native Tools

  • Baremaps - Open source pipeline for producing Mapbox vector tiles from OpenStreetMap with Postgis and Java. (Source Code)

Changeset Tools

Web Services

  • Osm Change Tiles - Map highlighting recent edits per tile. Provides RSS feeds for watching changes in custom bounding boxes.
  • Analytic OSM Tracker1 - Tracker for changesets in your region.
  • Suspicious OSM Changesets - Find suspicious OSM changesets.
  • Changeset Text Search - Filter OSM changesets by comment.
  • Latest Changeset Discussions - Show latest discussions on OSM changesets.
  • latest-changes - Visualize latest OSM changesets within a certain geographic boundary. Includes a simple vandalism checker. (Source Code)
  • OSM Inspector - The OSM Inspector (alias OSMI) is a web based debugging tool for advanced OpenStreetMap users offered by Geofabrik. On a map you can see several themed views, each with several layers, showing specific details of the OSM data, often with highlighted errors.
  • Nominatim QA - The Nominatim Data Analyser is a QA tool used to scan the nominatim database and extract suspect data from it. These data are then presented to mappers through a visual interface so that they can correct them directly.

Tasking Managers

Tasking Managers are websites which assign small tasks to individual users to work towards a common goal.

This section is a great place to start if you want to get into improving OpenStreetMap.
