Collect some data(Don’t copy from other maps!)

osmGo out and survey

osmWrite down notes

osmTake photos

osm Collect tracks using dedicted GPS units Save tracks & waypoints on GPS unit

You are looking for things like:

● Street signs (name of roads and amenities)● Place name and boundary signs● Business signboards (the name, branch, address, etc)● Get extra data from your official receipts & flyers

(name, operator, branch, building name, address, phone, etc.)

● Identify (or verify the existence of) map objects: eg. bus stops, fuel station, shops, banks, hotels, restrooms, historical markers, bridges, health centers, barangay halls and anything of interest to the general public.

Map Features

Many tags we use are common and intuitive. They are already in your Editor's preset icons.

There are more than 43 categories and hundreds of individual types of data that are gathered. You can't possibly memorize or use all of them, as they are continuously changing. It's a wiki.

osmJOSM Basics

Demo

osmJOSM Editor

1. Open JOSM.2. Download data. ( Using the slippy map, Area around places, Boundingbox)3. Load imagery4. Load GPX file5. You first edits Draw a node (POI) Line (Road) Upload changes

JOSM Essential ShortcutsMouse Buttons:

● Left = Select or Add

● Scroll = Zoom

● Right = Drag Map

Mode selector for mouse left-button:

● S = Select

● A = Add Node

Working with Ways:

● C = Combine way

● P = split way

● R = Reverse direction

Special Cases:

● Ctrl-Alt-A = Multipolygon

● Shift-D = Add a Node using Lat/Long values

● Ctrl-Shift-C = Copy Coordinates of a node

Improving Shapes:● L = straighten Line

● O = align in a circle

● Q = make right-angled

● Shift-B = distribute nodes

● Shift-P = make parallel ways

Working with Junctions:

● M = Merge Nodes

● G = unGlue Node/s

Alternative View:

● Crtl-W = Wireframe

● Alt-Shift-M = Map-Paint-Style → enable Potlatch2

F12 = Preferences
