More about tagsIt is time to learn a little about OpenStreetMap's tagging scheme:
AdviceStart with objects you want to use and learn their tags in OSM, read wiki if you need to tag more objectsThere are many tags that can be used to list all the facts about a road (or whatever you happen to be mapping), but to start with, and just to make your first contribution, you need to add only a highway tag for a road or shop for shops. From this point on, you should be able to see your work rendering (appearing) on OSM's maps, and add more and more details. Use search at wiki
It will be much faster than guessing tag in English. Contact community and local mappersMany of Contact channels contain places where you can ask questions about tags. Next step |
