What is OpenStreetMap

+ +

Find out at + OpenStreetMap.org +

+ This part consists of a tour of the basic functionality + offered at openstreetmap.org +
+ +
+

How can you use OpenStreetMap

+
+ +
+

You may have already used OpenStreetMap

+ + +
+ +
+

An OpenStreetMap Map

+ +

One option is the map on OpenStreetMap.org + +

+ +

+ + Other applications like OSMAND provide offline maps for Android, + and iOS devices +

+ +
+ + +
+

OpenStreetMap + is a dataset

+ + +
+ +
+

Changing OpenStreetMap

+ +

+ To change what you see, you need to edit the underlying data. +

+ + +

+ To change the data, you need to use an editor. +

+ + + +

+ There are several editors, this workshop covers iD and JOSM. +

+ +
+ +
+

OpenStreetMap.org

+ +

Editing OpenStreetMap requires an account.

+ +

If you have an OpenID account (Google, Yahoo and Wordpress all + provide this feature), you can use this for authentication.

+
+ +
+
+

The iD Editor

+ + + +

+ Use on + + openstreetmap.org + +

+
+
+ +
+

At this point, you should have:

+
    +
  • An OpenStreetMap account
    • +
  • The ability to add buildings to the map with JOSM
    • +
+ +
+
+

If not, the following resources might help:

+ +
+
+ + + +

JOSM

+ +

+ Another popular editor is JOSM, it is an extensible editor for OpenStreetMap. +

+ +

+ It is more complicated than iD, and does not work from a web + browser. +

+ +

+ However, JOSM can be faster to use than iD, and has more + capabilities (mutiple data layers, filters, ...). +

+
+
+ +
+

Installing JOSM

+ +

+ If you are using + Debian, + Ubuntu, + Fedora, + Arch + or probably other other free software operating systems, you should + just be able to install JOSM using their package manager. +

+ +

+ For other operating systems, including (Microsoft Windows, and Mac + OS X), see the + JOSM homepage +
