One challenge with offline editing is that a downloaded area can become out of date, so that by the time you make your edits and upload them, conflicts arise with intervening edits by other mappers.

Save the data as a OSM XML file on your local disk.Download an area of the map (can be one or several bounding boxes).JOSM's offline editing workflow involves several steps: Mapillary automatically records your trip in photographs, so that you can add the photographed details to OpenStreetMap when you get back to your computer.Field Papers produces maps suitable for field surveying and provides a workflow for uploading annotated maps.Other aids to contributing to OpenStreetMap while offline: The editors JOSM, Merkaartor, Vespucci and StreetComplete support editing OpenStreetMap while offline.
