OSM Tools

Short Description: OpenStreetMap community provide a series of useful open tools for mapping transit system

Description: This page describes all the existing free and open softwarte/mobile app/plug-in provided by OpenStreetMap community that are useful for mapping transport system directly on OSM.
Most of them are developped by the Jungle Bus Team and are under open licenses, that mean that their source code are modificable and sharable according to the terms of licenses.
For each phase of the process of mapping a paratransit network (data collection, data quality control and data importation/exportation), there is an adapted tool provided by the community and we will analyze them under a few criteria like:
- Under which informatic language is it? (JavaScript? SQL? Python?...)
- Who can use it? Is it for advanced contributors? For beginners?
- Do we need an internet connection to use it?
- Is the app available? Or under development?
