Potlatch is a free software editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata using Adobe Flash. It is one of two editors embedded directly within the OpenStreetMap website.

Potlatch 2 requires a web browser with at least version 8 of the Flash plugin installed. It continues to be actively maintained.

History

Potlatch 1[4] was released mid 2006[5] and was the default editor on the main OpenStreetMap site until it was replaced by Potlatch 2 in April 2011.[6] The name Potlatch came from the name of newsletter of the Lettrist International art collective.[7]

An alpha version of Potlatch 2, a complete reimplementation of the software, was published in summer 2010. In December 2010, Potlatch 2 was released for general use. After Microsoft had granted OpenStreetMap permission to use aerial imagery from their Bing Maps service for tracing, Potlatch 2 was extended to display these images in the background.

iD (current default editor on main OpenStreetMap website) is in turn a reimplementation of Potlatch 2 architecture in JavaScript.[7][8]
