Are you new to OpenStreetMap?
The iD editor is the de facto, browser-based OpenStreetMap editor. iD is fast and easy to use, and allows mapping from various data sources such as satellite and aerial imageries, GPS, Field Papers or Mapillary.
More advanced users may want to migrate to the JOSM editor at some point for improved editing efficiency or specialized needs.
