Part 2: Trace roads and areas

00:00:03.650 --> 00:00:07.250
This video will show you how to add a road to OpenStreetMap

00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:09.845
by tracing Bing aerial imagery.

00:00:10.692 --> 00:00:12.153
Click "Edit" to begin.

00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:20.688
Find a road on the aerial photo. Click at the end of the road to begin tracing.

00:00:20.938 --> 00:00:26.517
Click again to add the next point and keep clicking to complete the road.

00:00:28.014 --> 00:00:30.939
To join onto another road and create a junction

00:00:31.393 --> 00:00:33.413
place the last point over the road;

00:00:33.663 --> 00:00:35.803
a "+" sign will appear next to the mouse pointer

00:00:36.153 --> 00:00:38.893
and the points in the road will light up blue.

00:00:39.143 --> 00:00:42.469
Simply click to create the junction.

00:00:43.616 --> 00:00:48.333
To finish, click again on the last point or hit "Return".

00:00:48.583 --> 00:00:51.060
Choose the type of road in the sidebar

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.382
and add its name and other details

00:00:56.690 --> 00:01:01.602
click on the "Misc" tab to record the source of the data as "Bing".

00:01:03.563 --> 00:01:05.689
To add a point in the middle of a road

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:09.845
hold down the "Shift" key and click where you would like to add the point.

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:16.556
To change the shape of the road simply drag its points.

00:01:23.207 --> 00:01:26.169
You can create a junction off any point in a road.

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:29.930
If necessary, "Shift" + click to add a new point.

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:35.039
Now "Shift" + click again to begin drawing a new road.

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:50.500
To extend a road,

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:55.101
click on the point of the end and add further points.

00:02:00.266 --> 00:02:02.392
To delete a point, click on the point

00:02:02.437 --> 00:02:06.711
and click the delete button on the toolbar in the bottom right-hand corner.

00:02:08.081 --> 00:02:09.590
To delete an entire road,

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.212
select the road by clicking on the line between the points

00:02:13.462 --> 00:02:14.768
then click "Delete".

00:02:21.872 --> 00:02:23.392
Draw a footpath or cycleway

00:02:24.137 --> 00:02:26.471
in exactly the same way as a road.

00:02:30.522 --> 00:02:32.392
When you open the menu on the sidebar

00:02:32.642 --> 00:02:36.142
simply select the "Paths" submenu.

00:02:37.929 --> 00:02:41.773
Sometimes, the Bing aerial imagery may be misaligned.

00:02:42.023 --> 00:02:45.604
If this happens, hold down the space bar

00:02:45.854 --> 00:02:48.576
and click and drag the aerial imagery

00:02:48.826 --> 00:02:51.781
until it aligns with the existing road network.

00:02:55.321 --> 00:02:56.750
You can draw an area

00:02:57.214 --> 00:03:00.372
in exactly the same way as a road or path.

00:03:05.398 --> 00:03:09.823
Make sure the last point joins back onto the first point.

00:03:10.762 --> 00:03:13.538
Use the sidebar to choose the type of area

00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:15.197
and add further details.

00:03:23.208 --> 00:03:27.261
