Intro to OpenStreetMap

What is OpenStreetMap?

Anyone (like YOU!) can edit OSM
Let's get started!
Two ways to edit OSM: web editor
iD or advanced editor
JOSM

iD: just click edit up in the corner ↖︎

Look: layers! ⬈

Cycle Layer

Transport Layer
Secret: OSM IS just XML
data model: nodes / ways / relations

OK! But what should I edit first? Suggestions:
Trace some buildings
Add some POIs (points of interest)

Look: notes!⬊
Find ways without names

map from
qa.poole.ch
Advanced edits

Get outside!

Make tracks with your GPS

Large imports are
deliberately hard to do!
What not to do:
Main rule of thumb: no copying from Google products!

And don't map for the renderer
What should you do?
Be brave!
And get mapping!
