LEARNING TO MAP IN OPENSTREETMAP

0:00:09.920,0:00:11.200
Introduction

0:00:11.200,0:00:12.963
The MapGive campaign gives you [br]

0:00:12.963,0:00:15.133
an understanding of why open map data is[br]

0:00:15.133,0:00:17.396
important to people all over the world,

0:00:17.396,0:00:19.750
and why you should invest your time to

0:00:19.750,0:00:22.440
help create map data online through [br]

0:00:22.440,0:00:24.060
OpenStreetMap.org

0:00:24.060,0:00:27.240
and the OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager.

0:00:27.320,0:00:30.110
The places most in need of open map data [br]

0:00:30.110,0:00:32.350
creation may be places that you've never[br]

0:00:32.350,0:00:35.830
been to. That's okay! You can make

0:00:35.830,0:00:37.960
a big difference simply by tracing roads,[br]

0:00:37.970,0:00:40.290
buildings, and other features that you

0:00:40.290,0:00:42.790
can spot easily from satellite imagery.

0:00:42.800,0:00:44.990
In this video tutorial, we'll show you [br]

0:00:44.990,0:00:47.060
how to map in OpenStreetMap so

0:00:47.060,0:00:49.220
you can start creating open map data.

0:00:49.220,0:00:51.500
Pause this video whenever you need to

0:00:51.500,0:00:53.320
and practice what you've just learned.

0:00:53.380,0:00:55.660
You can also find written “how to” [br]

0:00:55.670,0:00:57.360
instructions under “step 2” on the [br]

0:00:57.360,0:01:00.170
MapGive “learn to map” page.

0:01:00.170,0:01:02.170
Before you begin learning how to map,

0:01:02.170,0:01:04.020
please make sure you have set up [br]

0:01:04.030,0:01:05.920
an OpenStreetMap account.

0:01:05.920,0:01:07.880
You can find instructions on how to do[br]

0:01:07.880,0:01:09.550
that in “Step 1” on the MapGive [br]

0:01:09.550,0:01:11.320
“Learn to Map” page.

0:01:11.320,0:01:12.660
If you have not signed up [br]

0:01:12.660,0:01:14.740
for an OpenStreetMap account yet,

0:01:14.740,0:01:17.420
please pause this video now and do so.

0:01:17.420,0:01:20.560
Then return here to continue the tutorial.

0:01:20.880,0:01:22.810
Once you've set up your OpenStreetMap [br]

0:01:22.810,0:01:24.800
account, the fun can really begin.

0:01:24.800,0:01:26.700
You are about to learn the three main [br]

0:01:26.700,0:01:28.840
things you can map in OpenStreetMap:

0:01:28.840,0:01:31.380
points (used to mark places),

0:01:31.380,0:01:34.180
lines (used to mark roads and paths), and

0:01:34.180,0:01:37.200
areas (used to mark outlines of buildings,[br]

0:01:37.200,0:01:40.200
fields, or any other large area).

0:01:40.200,0:01:42.550
As you'll soon see, mapping is easy

0:01:42.550,0:01:44.610
and you can do it from anywhere in the

0:01:44.610,0:01:46.140
world, even in places

0:01:46.140,0:01:48.360
that you've never been to.

0:01:48.360,0:01:50.590
In our next steps, we'll look at[br]

0:01:50.590,0:01:51.910
OpenStreetMap and become

0:01:51.910,0:01:53.200
more familiar with it.

0:01:53.200,0:01:55.180
You can pause this video at any point to [br]

0:01:55.180,0:01:56.180
review and practice

0:01:56.180,0:01:58.020
what you learn along the way.

0:01:58.020,0:02:00.220
Overview of OpenStreetMap

0:02:00.820,0:02:01.820
To begin,

0:02:01.820,0:02:04.300
you will log in to OpenStreetMap.

0:02:04.300,0:02:06.550
Once logged in, you will see the map.

0:02:06.550,0:02:08.130
To the right of the map are the[br]

0:02:08.130,0:02:09.520
map controls.

0:02:09.520,0:02:11.720
You can ZOOM IN, ZOOM OUT,

0:02:11.720,0:02:14.180
and VIEW your current location on the map.

0:02:14.400,0:02:16.660
You can also select between LAYERS,

0:02:16.660,0:02:17.663
view the MAP KEY,

0:02:17.663,0:02:18.826
SHARE the map,

0:02:18.826,0:02:21.500
or MAKE COMMENTS on a particular section.

0:02:21.840,0:02:24.240
Pause this video, log in, and take a

0:02:24.300,0:02:25.830
moment to locate these features

0:02:25.830,0:02:27.660
of OpenStreetMap.

0:02:27.660,0:02:29.870
Then return here to learn to search and [br]

0:02:29.870,0:02:32.560
zoom in and out in OpenStreetMap.

0:02:32.560,0:02:34.880
Searching OpenStreetMap is easy.

0:02:34.940,0:02:36.410
On the left side of the screen [br]

0:02:36.410,0:02:37.780
is a search area.

0:02:37.780,0:02:39.010
Search for any location [br]

0:02:39.010,0:02:40.940
in the world that you like.

0:02:40.940,0:02:43.320
Simply type the location and a new [br]

0:02:43.320,0:02:46.320
map of the area you selected will appear.

0:02:46.320,0:02:47.980
For now, you only need to know [br]

0:02:47.980,0:02:50.710
how to zoom in and zoom out on the map.

0:02:50.710,0:02:52.720
Use the ZOOM IN button, on the right [br]

0:02:52.720,0:02:54.980
of the screen, and examine the map.

0:02:54.980,0:02:56.200
You should be able to see [br]

0:02:56.200,0:02:58.720
the three main elements of the map:

0:02:58.720,0:03:01.700
points, lines, and areas.

0:03:01.840,0:03:03.880
Pause this video and take a moment

0:03:03.880,0:03:06.470
to practice with the zoom in and zoom [br]

0:03:06.470,0:03:08.880
out buttons, the search field, and the [br]

0:03:08.880,0:03:10.440
3 main elementsof the map:

0:03:10.440,0:03:12.440
points, lines, and areas.

0:03:12.440,0:03:14.540
Come back to learn how to create [br]

0:03:14.540,0:03:16.560
points, lines, and areas.

0:03:16.560,0:03:18.680
How to Edit OpenStreetMap

0:03:19.240,0:03:22.050
To create points, lines, and areas in[br]

0:03:22.050,0:03:24.140
OpenstreetMap, click on the drop[br]

0:03:24.140,0:03:27.140
down arrow next to the word EDIT.

0:03:27.140,0:03:28.140
The drop down arrow [br]

0:03:28.140,0:03:30.520
will give you a few options.

0:03:30.520,0:03:34.400
Select “Edit with iD (in browser editor)”.

0:03:34.460,0:03:36.480
There are several ways to edit and

0:03:36.480,0:03:39.240
create map data in OpenStreetMap.

0:03:39.240,0:03:42.180
For now, the iD (in browser editor) [br]

0:03:42.180,0:03:44.490
is the easiest to use because you will [br]

0:03:44.490,0:03:46.600
not have to download anything to use it,

0:03:46.600,0:03:47.600
it simply opens up

0:03:47.600,0:03:49.560
in your Internet browser.

0:03:49.560,0:03:52.090
After selecting “Edit with iD” (in browser[br]

0:03:52.090,0:03:54.440
editor) from the drop down menu,

0:03:54.460,0:03:56.463
the iD editor will open.

0:03:56.906,0:03:58.940
You will be able to create map data

0:03:58.940,0:04:01.232
by adding points, lines, and areas.

0:04:01.232,0:04:03.482
Please pause the video now,

0:04:03.482,0:04:05.410
open the iD (in browser editor)

0:04:05.410,0:04:07.366
from the drop down menu,

0:04:07.366,0:04:09.992
and then come back to continue.

0:04:09.992,0:04:12.060
At the top of the iD editor are the

0:04:12.060,0:04:14.060
main controls. You can select which[br]

0:04:14.060,0:04:16.040
action you'd like to perform:

0:04:16.040,0:04:19.300
map a POINT, LINE, or an AREA. The buttons

0:04:19.540,0:04:22.970
to go BACK, FORWARD and SAVE are also[br]

0:04:23.020,0:04:25.340
at the top. By clicking save after [br]

0:04:25.340,0:04:27.800
making an edit to OpenStreetMap,

0:04:27.800,0:04:30.540
your changes go live to the entire world.

0:04:30.540,0:04:33.260
Please remember to hit “save” often.

0:04:33.460,0:04:36.380
There is also a dialogue box to the left [br]

0:04:36.380,0:04:38.380
of the map. This dialogue box is where [br]

0:04:38.380,0:04:41.380
you'll be able to input information about

0:04:41.380,0:04:43.560
the points, lines, and areas that you map.

0:04:43.840,0:04:46.580
It's OK if you do not know the name of [br]

0:04:46.580,0:04:49.100
the place, road, or area. Just marking it[br]

0:04:49.100,0:04:51.140
on the map so that the data exists is

0:04:51.140,0:04:52.390
very helpful for others [br]

0:04:52.390,0:04:54.520
who can add in more detail.

0:04:54.520,0:04:56.660
Please pause this video for a moment

0:04:56.660,0:04:58.700
and get familiar with the various buttons [br]

0:04:58.700,0:04:59.940
in the iD editor.

0:04:59.940,0:05:01.300
Walkthrough[br]

0:05:01.300,0:05:03.680
To the right of the map, there is a help[br]

0:05:03.680,0:05:06.280
button. You can click on it at any time [br]

0:05:06.280,0:05:08.240
to see valuable information and answers [br]

0:05:08.240,0:05:10.170
to questions that you might have about

0:05:10.170,0:05:11.460
the iD editor.

0:05:11.460,0:05:13.580
There is also a WALKTHROUGH,

0:05:13.580,0:05:15.260
which will guide you through the [br]

0:05:15.260,0:05:17.360
process of editing in OpenStreetMap.

0:05:17.360,0:05:18.800
You can select the walkthrough [br]

0:05:18.800,0:05:20.620
as many times as you like.

0:05:20.620,0:05:22.930
You may have completed the walkthrough[br]

0:05:22.930,0:05:24.850
in OpenStreetMap when you signed up for[br]

0:05:24.850,0:05:26.920
an account and logged in the first time.

0:05:26.920,0:05:28.460
If you haven't already,

0:05:28.460,0:05:30.320
we recommend that you pause this video [br]

0:05:30.330,0:05:32.640
and go through the walkthrough.

0:05:32.640,0:05:34.380
Getting started[br]

0:05:34.380,0:05:36.130
Once you complete the walkthrough, [br]

0:05:36.130,0:05:38.780
the iD editor will still be open.

0:05:38.780,0:05:40.910
To continue with this video tutorial,

0:05:40.910,0:05:42.270
you'll need to pick an area [br]

0:05:42.270,0:05:43.980
to continue to practice mapping in.

0:05:43.980,0:05:45.830
Any place in the world will work, and

0:05:45.830,0:05:48.360
you don't have to pick a place you have

0:05:48.360,0:05:51.340
been to or know well. An area with little [br]

0:05:51.340,0:05:54.180
existing map data is best, so try [br]

0:05:54.180,0:05:56.480
practicing in a place that is not a major

0:05:56.480,0:05:58.630
city or heavily developed area.

0:05:58.630,0:06:00.400
Of course, you're welcome to practice[br]

0:06:00.400,0:06:03.010
mapping in an area that you already know.

0:06:03.010,0:06:04.920
This may be easier for you to start with [br]

0:06:04.920,0:06:07.640
until you are comfortable mapping.

0:06:07.640,0:06:10.440
How to Map a Point in OpenStreetMap[br]

0:06:11.340,0:06:14.220
To map a point in the OpenStreetMap iD [br]

0:06:14.220,0:06:17.020
editor, simply click on the “point” button[br]

0:06:17.020,0:06:20.000
in the top left of the map. It will turn [br]

0:06:20.000,0:06:22.300
blue to let you know that it's been

0:06:22.300,0:06:24.860
selected. Then, simply click on a position[br]

0:06:24.860,0:06:27.030
in the map where there is a building or[br]

0:06:27.030,0:06:29.180
area that you'd like to define.

0:06:29.180,0:06:32.820
A NODE will appear. Also, a dialog box

0:06:32.820,0:06:36.540
with a series of descriptive options to [br]

0:06:36.540,0:06:38.860
input will appear to the left of the map.

0:06:38.860,0:06:41.416
If you know the name of the building or [br]

0:06:41.416,0:06:44.432
area, or additional details, you can enter [br]

0:06:44.432,0:06:47.610
them here. When you map areas that you've[br]

0:06:47.610,0:06:49.450
never been to before, you most likely[br]

0:06:49.450,0:06:51.810
won't know the names of buildings,

0:06:51.810,0:06:53.860
roads, and areas. That is okay too. [br]

0:06:53.860,0:06:56.860
Simply marking points is a huge help.

0:06:56.860,0:06:59.200
Once you've finished adding details [br]

0:06:59.200,0:07:01.280
connected to the node, you can close the[br]

0:07:01.280,0:07:04.330
dialog box by clicking on the “x” at the

0:07:04.330,0:07:06.720
top right of it. If you need to edit the

0:07:06.720,0:07:08.650
node, simply click on it again and the

0:07:08.650,0:07:10.460
dialog box will open.

0:07:10.780,0:07:13.180
To delete a node that is incorrect [br]

0:07:13.180,0:07:16.180
or created by mistake, click on it.

0:07:16.180,0:07:19.080
A trash can icon will appear next to it.

0:07:19.280,0:07:22.020
Click on the trash can and the node will[br]

0:07:22.020,0:07:24.570
be removed. Remember, if you ever need to[br]

0:07:24.570,0:07:26.620
step back a few edits, click on the back [br]

0:07:26.620,0:07:28.940
arrow icon at the top of the editor.

0:07:28.940,0:07:31.580
You can also step forward a few edits

0:07:31.580,0:07:34.300
with the forward arrow icon.

0:07:34.300,0:07:35.980
Remember to save often.

0:07:35.980,0:07:37.630
Please pause this video and take a

0:07:37.630,0:07:40.080
moment to practice mapping a point.

0:07:40.080,0:07:42.110
Return to this video when you are ready [br]

0:07:42.110,0:07:44.740
to learn how to map a line.

0:07:44.740,0:07:47.160
How to Map a Line in OpenStreetMap[br]

0:07:47.320,0:07:49.860
Just as you clicked on the point button [br]

0:07:49.860,0:07:51.680
before, now click on the line button at [br]

0:07:51.680,0:07:54.680
the top of the iD OpenStreetMap editor.

0:07:54.680,0:07:56.580
It will also turn blue to let you know [br]

0:07:56.580,0:07:58.640
that it's been selected.

0:07:58.640,0:08:00.740
Now click on a position on the map.

0:08:01.120,0:08:03.580
A dot will appear connected to a line.

0:08:03.900,0:08:06.300
Click on another other point on the map [br]

0:08:06.300,0:08:08.980
and another dot will appear and the line[br]

0:08:08.980,0:08:10.440
will connect those two points.

0:08:10.440,0:08:12.940
You can either continue to draw more [br]

0:08:12.940,0:08:14.790
points to establish the line or double [br]

0:08:14.790,0:08:16.600
click on the last point to finish

0:08:16.600,0:08:18.526
drawing the line.

0:08:18.526,0:08:20.480
The line will glow red to let you know [br]

0:08:20.480,0:08:22.060
that it has been created.

You can specify whether the line is a

0:08:28.520,0:08:31.380
road or a path or a river, or any of

0:08:31.380,0:08:32.900
a number of options.

0:08:32.900,0:08:35.170
You can be very specific or general

depending on what you can determine [br]

0:08:36.850,0:08:38.559

to learn to map an area.

0:09:03.220,0:09:05.740
How to Map an Area in OpenStreetMap[br]

0:09:05.740,0:09:08.886
An area can either be a park, a building, [br]

0:09:08.886,0:09:12.032
a lake, a forest, or any other number[br]

0:09:12.032,0:09:14.650
of things. It's up to you to define on

0:09:14.650,0:09:17.260
the map. Just as with points and lines,

0:09:17.260,0:09:19.870
click on the area button at the top of [br]

0:09:19.870,0:09:21.650
the editor. It will turn blue to let [br]

0:09:21.650,0:09:23.700
you know that you've selected it.

0:09:23.700,0:09:25.840
Once you've done that, select the edges of[br]

0:09:25.840,0:09:28.530
the building or feature you want to define

0:09:28.530,0:09:30.470
Just click on the corners and the editor [br]

0:09:30.470,0:09:33.000
will fill in the space in between.

0:09:33.000,0:09:35.460
Once you've fully outlined what you want,

0:09:35.460,0:09:38.230
double click on the last created point to[br]

0:09:38.230,0:09:41.050
complete the area. The area will turn red [br]

0:09:41.050,0:09:44.500
to let you know that it's been created.

0:09:44.500,0:09:46.890
A dialog box will appear next to the map [br]

0:09:46.890,0:09:48.890
editor and allow you to label the area [br]

0:09:48.890,0:09:50.920
you've just defined.

0:09:50.920,0:09:53.640
There are numerous options and you can be[br]

0:09:53.640,0:09:56.240
as specific or general as you like,

0:09:56.240,0:09:58.280
depending on what information you know.

0:09:58.280,0:10:01.180
Again, it is okay if you don't know the

0:10:01.180,0:10:03.730
specific name of the area, you can leave

0:10:03.730,0:10:06.320
this section blank as you will most likely[br]

0:10:06.320,0:10:08.540
not know the exact names of the areas

0:10:08.540,0:10:11.340
being mapped. Just label what you can see[br]

0:10:11.340,0:10:13.180
from the satellite imagery— such as a

0:10:13.180,0:10:15.950
“lake” or “building”. Also, always

0:10:15.950,0:10:17.480
remember to hit save at

0:10:17.480,0:10:19.320
the top of the editor.

0:10:19.320,0:10:20.880
Please pause this video

0:10:20.980,0:10:23.280
and take a moment to practice mapping.

0:10:23.280,0:10:25.700
Closing - That's it!

0:10:25.980,0:10:27.373
That's all it takes to[br]

0:10:27.373,0:10:29.156
start mapping in OpenStreetMap.

0:10:29.156,0:10:31.300
Once you hit save your edits are live

0:10:31.300,0:10:33.340
and part of the OpenStreetMap data,

0:10:33.340,0:10:35.060
base which is immediately available

0:10:35.060,0:10:36.560
to anyone in the world.

0:10:36.560,0:10:38.773
