Introduction

Contributing to Open Street Map (OSM) requires the use of editor software. The Puerto Rico Open Street Map (PROSMap) team recommends two editors, the basic web editor iD and the advanced desktop editor JOSM. iD is great for adding information to existing shapes and creating point shapes but may be cumbersome for creating complex geometric objects. Also, the Bing Images, which are the default in iD, are misaligned.

Step 1: Create OSM Account

Visit the OSM Registration Page

Step 2: iD Imagery Configuration

In order to prevent drawing misaligned objects, the USACE 2010 images need to be configured in iD. The following screenshot shows how to set the custom imagery:

Click on the "Layers" icon on the right margin of the editor. Then, click on the "Custom" radio button and paste the above URL onto the dialog that appears. Click "Accept".
