Part1: Add points of interest

2
00:00:02,073 --> 00:00:04,807
Welcome to OpenStreetMap!
This short video will show you how to add a point of interest (POIs)

3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:10,681
such as a shop or a café, to the map.

4
00:00:13,048 --> 00:00:17,925
First: select the area you wish to edit
and zoom in.

5
00:00:25,853 --> 00:00:27,863
Now, click on the "Edit" tab.

6
00:00:31,706 --> 00:00:35,851
Log in, using your OpenStreetMap username and password

7
00:00:37,175 --> 00:00:42,283
If you don't yet have an account, click on "Register now" to create one.

8
00:00:50,548 --> 00:00:53,475
On the right-hand side is the editable map,

9
00:00:53,725 --> 00:01:00,743
on the left is the sidebar that currently shows drag-and-drop points of interest icons.

10
00:01:00,993 --> 00:01:07,802
To zoom in and out of the map use the "+" and "-" buttons on the top right-hand side

11
00:01:08,052 --> 00:01:10,402
or use your mouse wheel.

12
00:01:10,652 --> 00:01:18,947
To move around the map either use the arrow keys or click and drag in an area where there are no map features.

13
00:01:19,972 --> 00:01:26,169
If you accidentally drag one of the features, such as a road: don't panic!

14
00:01:28,885 --> 00:01:33,762
You can use the "Undo" button at the top of the screen to reverse the change.

15
00:01:36,711 --> 00:01:41,471
The "Undo" button is also useful for reversing any other errors you may make.

16
00:01:41,721 --> 00:01:47,763
Existing points of interest are shown as an icon or green dot

17
00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:52,454
Click on any of these to view their details in the sidebar.

18
00:01:53,868 --> 00:02:02,810
Here we are looking at a church. The basic tab shows the name, religion, denomination and the source of the data.

19
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,451
Depending on the type of feature, you'll see other tabs for recording further details.

20
00:02:11,491 --> 00:02:19,691
To reset the sidebar to display drag-and-drop icons, just click in an area with no map features.

21
00:02:21,322 --> 00:02:29,141
To add your new point of interest simply click and drag its icon from the sidebar onto the map,

22
00:02:34,957 --> 00:02:37,175
then drag it to the correct position.

23
00:02:39,751 --> 00:02:45,535
Next, complete its name and other details in the sidebar.

24
00:02:47,682 --> 00:02:53,615
If you know the address you may complete it on the "Address" tab, or the website on the "Web" tab.

25
00:02:54,589 --> 00:03:01,928
It is helpful to tag the source of your data, so other mappers know where the information is coming from

26
00:03:02,178 --> 00:03:05,295
in this case, it's "local_knowledge".

27
00:03:08,115 --> 00:03:10,751
When you are ready to save your changes to the map

28
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:14,351
click on the "Save" button in the top right-hand corner.

29
00:03:15,151 --> 00:03:18,460
Enter a brief comment about the change you have made

30
00:03:19,168 --> 00:03:21,019
this helps other mappers.

31
00:03:21,474 --> 00:03:26,262
Now, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the comment box.

32
00:03:26,512 --> 00:03:31,603
Remember: your changes will be saved to the live OpenStreetMap database.

33
00:03:31,853 --> 00:03:36,433
So, if you are just messing about: don't save.

34
00:03:37,547 --> 00:03:42,857
Once you have saved your changes you may click on the "View" tab to return to the main map.

35
00:03:45,594 --> 00:03:50,574
It usually takes a few minutes for new features to be rendered on the map

36
00:03:50,917 --> 00:03:56,564
However, depending on the load of the server it may take significantly longer,

37
00:03:56,814 --> 00:03:57,795
so please be patient.

38
00:03:58,045 --> 00:04:08,592
Most maps you come across on-line or on paper do not give you permission to copy their information and add it to OpenStreetMap.

39
00:04:08,842 --> 00:04:12,377
So please: don't copy from other maps!

40
00:04:12,725 --> 00:04:16,232
