OpenStreetMap[br]for Beginners[br]Part1: Add points of interest

0:00:02.073,0:00:04.807
Welcome to OpenStreetMap![br]This short video will show you how to add a point of interest (POIs)

0:00:07.207,0:00:10.681
such as a shop or a café, to the map.

0:00:13.048,0:00:17.925
First: select the area you wish to edit[br]and zoom in.

0:00:25.853,0:00:27.863
Now, click on the "Edit" tab.

0:00:31.706,0:00:35.851
Log in, using your OpenStreetMap username and password

0:00:37.175,0:00:42.283
If you don't yet have an account, click on "Register now" to create one.

0:00:50.548,0:00:53.475
On the right-hand side is the editable map,

0:00:53.725,0:01:00.743
on the left is the sidebar that currently shows drag-and-drop points of interest icons.

0:01:00.993,0:01:07.802
To zoom in and out of the map use the "+" and "-" buttons on the top right-hand side

0:01:08.052,0:01:10.402
or use your mouse wheel.

0:01:10.652,0:01:18.947
To move around the map either use the arrow keys or click and drag in an area where there are no map features.

0:01:19.972,0:01:26.169
If you accidentally drag one of the features, such as a road: don't panic!

0:01:28.885,0:01:33.762
You can use the "Undo" button at the top of the screen to reverse the change.

0:01:36.711,0:01:41.471
The "Undo" button is also useful for reversing any other errors you may make.

0:01:41.721,0:01:47.763
Existing points of interest are shown as an icon or green dot

0:01:48.013,0:01:52.454
Click on any of these to view their details in the sidebar.

0:01:53.868,0:02:02.810
Here we are looking at a church. The basic tab shows the name, religion, denomination and the source of the data.

0:02:04.280,0:02:09.451
Depending on the type of feature, you'll see other tabs for recording further details.

0:02:11.491,0:02:19.691
To reset the sidebar to display drag-and-drop icons, just click in an area with no map features.

0:02:21.322,0:02:29.141
To add your new point of interest simply click and drag its icon from the sidebar onto the map,

0:02:34.957,0:02:37.175
then drag it to the correct position.

0:02:39.751,0:02:45.535
Next, complete its name and other details in the sidebar.

0:02:47.682,0:02:53.615
If you know the address you may complete it on the "Address" tab, or the website on the "Web" tab.

0:02:54.589,0:03:01.928
It is helpful to tag the source of your data, so other mappers know where the information is coming from

0:03:02.178,0:03:05.295
in this case, it's "local_knowledge".

0:03:08.115,0:03:10.751
When you are ready to save your changes to the map

0:03:10.900,0:03:14.351
click on the "Save" button in the top right-hand corner.

0:03:15.151,0:03:18.460
Enter a brief comment about the change you have made

0:03:19.168,0:03:21.019
this helps other mappers.

0:03:21.474,0:03:26.262
Now, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the comment box.

0:03:26.512,0:03:31.603
Remember: your changes will be saved to the live OpenStreetMap database.

0:03:31.853,0:03:36.433
So, if you are just messing about: don't save.

0:03:37.547,0:03:42.857
Once you have saved your changes you may click on the "View" tab to return to the main map.

0:03:45.594,0:03:50.574
It usually takes a few minutes for new features to be rendered on the map

0:03:50.917,0:03:56.564
However, depending on the load of the server it may take significantly longer,

0:03:56.814,0:03:57.795
so please be patient.

0:03:58.045,0:04:08.592
Most maps you come across on-line or on paper do not give you permission to copy their information and add it to OpenStreetMap.

0:04:08.842,0:04:12.377
So please: don't copy from other maps!
