What is OpenStreetMap?

Anyone (like YOU!) can edit OSM

So, let's sign up
now!
Let's get started!
Two ways to edit OSM: web editor
iD or advanced editor
JOSM

iD: just click edit up in the corner ↖︎
JOSM

Look: layers! ⬈

Look: notes!⬊
data model: nodes / ways / relations

OK! But what should I edit first? Suggestions:
Trace some buildings
Add some POIs (points of interest)

Get outside!
What not to do:
Main rule of thumb: no copying from Google products!
OSM is licensed under the Open Database License:
ODbL
More on that another time...
Advanced stuff: (Quality Assurance tools)
I've got some data, can I load it into OSM?
Get feedback before you import anything!
Now get out there and start mapping!
