Go Map!!/Submitting Changes
This page describes the requirements and process of uploading you're changes to the OSM database.
Submitting your Changes
Undo, redo
Any time you make an error you can use the undo button to reverse your changes. All actions including tag changes can be undone, or redone, even if you exit the app and restart later. After uploading to the server all undo actions are discarded! You cannot undo after uploading.
Upload changes
When you are finished making your changes to the map you can submit your changes to the OpenStreetMap server by pressing the upload (cloud) button. If the change is uploaded successfully, you will simply be returned to the map screen.
CAUTION — PLEASE READ!!
- After uploading you CANNOT UNDO to a previous state; all changes are final.
- The upload button appears only when you have made edits. **People will typically make multiple related edits BEFORE performing a single upload. (This helps reduce server load, and also helps you "preview" your changes prior to committing them!)**
- If your upload fails because of a version conflict or other reason you can export the OSM change file ("osmChange.osc") to your desired location to fix the problems offline.
You must have a username and password registered at www.openstreetmap.org to upload changes, and have your username and password configured on the Settings|Credentials screen.
