Potlatch is a free software editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata[1] using Adobe AIR.
[3] Tim Berners-Lee demonstrated editing OpenStreetMap using Potlatch during his TED The next web talk in 2009.
[4] An alpha version of Potlatch 2, a complete reimplementation of the software, was published in summer 2010.
[6][7] 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.
[10] In 2020, the OpenStreetMap Foundation provided €2,500 funding for Potlatch to be ported to Adobe AIR, so that it could continue to run as a desktop application for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh after Flash was disabled in web browsers.
