SELECTING A TASK[br]

0:00:04.900,0:00:07.930
FROM THE OPENSTREETMAP TASKING MANAGER

0:00:09.300,0:00:11.020
Introduction

0:00:11.020,0:00:13.700
In this video tutorial, we’ll show you how[br][br]

0:00:13.700,0:00:16.200
to select a task from the MapGive

0:00:16.200,0:00:18.490
“Learn to Map” page and work with the

0:00:18.490,0:00:20.720
OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager so you can[br]

0:00:20.720,0:00:22.540
start mapping to make a difference.

0:00:22.540,0:00:24.300
Now that you know how to map,

0:00:24.300,0:00:26.460
it’s time to put those skills to work.

0:00:26.720,0:00:28.880
As you’ve seen, mapping is easy,

0:00:28.880,0:00:30.700
and soon, you’ll be making edits

0:00:30.700,0:00:32.840
that can help others around the world.

0:00:33.200,0:00:35.483
You may not be familiar with some,[br]

0:00:35.483,0:00:37.153
or all, of the locations in need[br]

0:00:37.153,0:00:38.986
of humanitarian mapping.

0:00:38.986,0:00:42.080
That's okay! You can still help.

0:00:42.090,0:00:44.310
You simply need to look at satellite [br]

0:00:44.310,0:00:47.200
imagery and trace roads, paths,

0:00:47.200,0:00:49.380
buildings, and areas in the same way you[br]

0:00:49.380,0:00:51.190
did when you were learning to map.

0:00:51.190,0:00:53.070
You do not need to know the names of [br]

0:00:53.070,0:00:54.880
roads and buildings to help.

0:00:54.880,0:00:57.490
By tracing, you are generating map data

0:00:57.490,0:00:59.500
that is open and available to the world[br]

0:00:59.500,0:01:01.680
through OpenStreetMap.

0:01:01.680,0:01:03.340
Another thing to note:

0:01:03.340,0:01:05.350
Even if you are only making a few map

0:01:05.350,0:01:08.100
edits to the OpenStreetMap tasking manager

0:01:08.100,0:01:10.540
you are helping in a major way.

0:01:10.820,0:01:11.820
There is no minimum,

0:01:11.820,0:01:13.800
and every effort helps.

0:01:13.800,0:01:16.100
No matter how small, if we all do a little[br]

0:01:16.100,0:01:19.000
together we can accomplish a lot.

0:01:19.000,0:01:21.180
There are written instructions on the [br]

0:01:21.180,0:01:23.300
MapGive site, which may be helpful as you[br]

0:01:23.300,0:01:25.050
start to map in the OpenStreetMap

0:01:25.050,0:01:26.020
tasking manager.

0:01:26.020,0:01:27.930
If you don't feel comfortable mapping

0:01:27.930,0:01:30.450
yet, please pause this video, and

0:01:30.450,0:01:32.980
select the "How to Map" tutorial video

0:01:32.980,0:01:34.980
from the MapGive site.

0:01:34.980,0:01:36.510
Come back to this video

0:01:36.510,0:01:38.620
once you are ready.

0:01:38.620,0:01:39.900
Getting started[br]

0:01:39.900,0:01:42.260
From MapGive’s “Learn to Map” page,

0:01:42.260,0:01:44.400
scroll down below this video [br]

0:01:44.400,0:01:47.600
to the section called “select a task.”

0:01:47.600,0:01:50.000
In this section, you will see a[br]

0:01:50.000,0:01:53.020
list of humanitarian mapping tasks.

0:01:53.020,0:01:55.460
Select the one you would like to work on.

0:01:55.460,0:01:57.740
Once you have selected the task, either

0:01:57.740,0:02:00.410
a new browser tab or window

0:02:00.410,0:02:02.570
will open, taking you directly

0:02:02.570,0:02:04.260
to the mapping task on the [br]

0:02:04.260,0:02:06.510
OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager website.

0:02:06.510,0:02:08.510
Here you will be asked to log in to [br]

0:02:08.530,0:02:10.880
your OpenStreetMap account.

0:02:10.880,0:02:12.510
This is the same account

0:02:12.510,0:02:14.140
you signed up for in STEP ONE on the [br]

0:02:14.140,0:02:16.880
MapGive site's “learn to map” section.

0:02:16.880,0:02:19.080
You will also be asked to authorize

0:02:19.080,0:02:20.900
the OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager's [br]

0:02:20.900,0:02:23.680
access to your account.

0:02:23.680,0:02:25.060
Please pause this video

0:02:25.060,0:02:26.670
and take a moment to make sure [br]

0:02:26.690,0:02:29.480
that you have logged in correctly.

0:02:29.480,0:02:31.260
Starting a Task[br]

0:02:31.830,0:02:33.720
Once you have signed in and are allowed

0:02:33.720,0:02:36.380
access to your OpenStreetMap account, you

0:02:36.410,0:02:37.980
will see the task that you

0:02:37.980,0:02:39.570
selected from the MapGive site.

0:02:39.570,0:02:40.980
You will see a map and some[br]

0:02:40.980,0:02:43.420
information about the task.

0:02:43.420,0:02:46.300
The information about the task includes a[br]

0:02:46.300,0:02:48.480
description of what MapGive would like[br]

0:02:48.480,0:02:50.560
you to focus on, why that task is [br]

0:02:50.560,0:02:53.560
important, instructions on what to map,

0:02:53.560,0:02:56.670
the individual mapping tasks, which users[br]

0:02:56.670,0:02:58.600
have worked on this task,

0:02:58.600,0:03:00.690
and some stats about the task.[br]

0:03:00.890,0:03:02.420
Please pause this video

0:03:02.420,0:03:04.110
and familiarize yourself with the [br]

0:03:04.110,0:03:06.440
OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager.

0:03:06.440,0:03:08.370
Return to this video when you are ready[br]

0:03:08.370,0:03:10.260
for more details.

0:03:10.260,0:03:12.220
Picking a Tile to Work On[br]

0:03:12.480,0:03:14.620
Let’s use the interactive map and zoom in [br]

0:03:14.620,0:03:16.820
on the highlighted tiles.

0:03:16.820,0:03:19.890
The task has been broken up into smaller, [br]

0:03:19.890,0:03:22.380
tiled areas of the map to allow you to

0:03:22.380,0:03:24.810
do a little bit of mapping rather than

0:03:24.810,0:03:26.680
trying to map the entire area.

0:03:26.680,0:03:28.570
This also lets others simultaneously

0:03:28.570,0:03:31.520
map other tiles, or areas.

0:03:31.640,0:03:33.230
By doing this in small pieces,[br]

0:03:33.230,0:03:35.810
you can all work faster.

0:03:35.860,0:03:37.150
When you select a TILE,[br]

0:03:37.150,0:03:39.620
you are taking a TASK.

0:03:39.620,0:03:42.240
Your task is to map that specific tile

0:03:42.300,0:03:44.340
by tracing satellite imagery.

0:03:45.040,0:03:47.350
Gray tiles represent all of the tasks[br]

0:03:47.350,0:03:49.340
available in this job.

0:03:49.340,0:03:50.340
Red tiles are areas[br]

0:03:50.340,0:03:52.960
that have been marked as done.

0:03:52.960,0:03:55.780
Green tiles are areas that were marked as [br]

0:03:55.780,0:03:58.700
done, and have also been validated.

0:03:59.080,0:04:01.380
Gray tiles with yellow outlines are

0:04:01.380,0:04:03.920
areas that are currently being worked on.[br]

0:04:04.140,0:04:06.620
Click on a gray tile on the map to

0:04:06.620,0:04:09.700
select it. The task tab will open.

0:04:09.800,0:04:11.620
In the task tab, click on the green [br]

0:04:11.620,0:04:13.540
button that says,

0:04:13.540,0:04:16.300
“yes, I want to work on this task.”

0:04:16.370,0:04:17.800
By selecting a tile you are[br]

0:04:17.800,0:04:19.579
“checking it out.”

0:04:19.579,0:04:21.980
No one else will be able to edit this tile

0:04:21.980,0:04:23.980
while you are working on it.

0:04:23.980,0:04:25.610
Once you have completed[br]

0:04:25.610,0:04:27.940
working on the tile you will need to

0:04:27.940,0:04:29.500
“check it back in” so others can

0:04:29.500,0:04:31.060
validate or build on your work.[br]

0:04:31.200,0:04:32.860
We’ll explain how to check areas[br]

0:04:32.860,0:04:34.640
back in shortly.

0:04:34.640,0:04:36.910
The task tab has a few additional [br]

0:04:36.910,0:04:39.420
sections: extra instructions,

0:04:39.420,0:04:42.480
information on how to credit your edits,

0:04:42.480,0:04:44.480
and history of this task.[br]

0:04:44.480,0:04:46.630
The extra instructions will contain [br]

0:04:46.630,0:04:48.260
information about the imagery you[br]

0:04:48.260,0:04:50.240
are about to work with.

0:04:50.240,0:04:52.460
Pause this video if you need to and make

0:04:52.460,0:04:55.720
sure you have correctly selected a task.[br]

0:04:55.980,0:04:58.980
Working on a Task in the iD Editor

0:04:59.480,0:05:02.940
Select iD from the editing tool options.

0:05:02.940,0:05:05.120
This is the same editor you used to learn[br]

0:05:05.120,0:05:08.120
how to map in OpenStreetMap.

0:05:08.120,0:05:10.420
This will open a new tab or window in[br]

0:05:10.420,0:05:12.910
your browser with OpenStreetMap

0:05:12.910,0:05:14.880
and the iD editor.

0:05:14.880,0:05:16.730
The iD Editor will automatically

0:05:16.730,0:05:18.510
load the high resolution satellite[br]

0:05:18.520,0:05:21.260
imagery for you to map with.

0:05:21.260,0:05:23.440
You will also see a bounding box,

0:05:23.440,0:05:25.100
showing you the exact area[br]

0:05:25.100,0:05:28.100
marking the tile you selected.

0:05:28.100,0:05:30.412
You may need to adjust the satellite [br]

0:05:30.412,0:05:31.612
imagery to match with an

0:05:31.612,0:05:33.280
existing map edit.

0:05:33.280,0:05:35.600
This is a very easy process.

0:05:35.600,0:05:37.900
Simply click on the layers button, scroll

0:05:37.900,0:05:41.680
down to “fix alignment,” and use the arrow

0:05:41.680,0:05:44.020
buttons to properly line up the high

0:05:44.020,0:05:45.800
resolution satellite imagery with [br]

0:05:45.800,0:05:47.400
the existing map edit.

0:05:47.400,0:05:48.940
You may need to zoom in[br]

0:05:48.940,0:05:51.200
fairly close to do this.

0:05:51.200,0:05:53.060
Once you have adjusted the alignment,[br]

0:05:53.070,0:05:55.670
it's time to start mapping - adding roads,

0:05:55.670,0:05:58.540
paths, buildings, and areas- just like [br]

0:05:58.540,0:06:01.340
you did when you learned to map earlier.[br]

0:06:01.780,0:06:04.080
For example just as you did in the

0:06:04.080,0:06:06.120
practice, identify roads by looking [br]

0:06:06.120,0:06:08.326
at them and tracing them.

0:06:08.326,0:06:10.332
It’s that easy.

0:06:10.332,0:06:11.752
When you make a map edit,[br]

0:06:11.752,0:06:13.620
a dialogue box will appear.

0:06:13.620,0:06:15.880
You may not know the specific name[br]

0:06:15.880,0:06:18.300
of the road or building, which is okay.

0:06:18.300,0:06:19.950
For instance, when you select the [br]

0:06:19.950,0:06:22.700
“Building” button in the iD editor,

0:06:22.700,0:06:24.430
your map edit is automatically [br]

0:06:24.430,0:06:27.250
“tagged” as a building. Remember to save

0:06:27.250,0:06:29.680
after you make your edits.

0:06:29.680,0:06:31.840
This ensures that your map edits

0:06:31.840,0:06:34.400
are available to the entire world.

0:06:34.740,0:06:36.170
We do ask that you credit your[br]

0:06:36.170,0:06:38.620
work each time you save your edits.

0:06:38.620,0:06:41.240
A collection of map edits are called a[br]

0:06:41.240,0:06:43.740
changeset, and when you save your edits,

0:06:43.740,0:06:45.240
you are essentially applying a[br]

0:06:45.240,0:06:48.240
“commit” to the OSM database.

0:06:48.240,0:06:50.493
The iD editor will ask if you want to [br]

0:06:50.493,0:06:51.913
provide a “commit message” to[br]

0:06:51.913,0:06:53.586
your collection of edits.

0:06:53.586,0:06:56.260
This information will help us understand

0:06:56.260,0:06:58.720
when an edit was made as part of MapGive.

0:06:58.720,0:07:00.280
To credit your edits,

0:07:00.280,0:07:02.420
please click back to the OpenStreetMap[br]

0:07:02.420,0:07:05.420
tasking manger tab in your browser.

0:07:05.420,0:07:07.470
Scroll down to the credit section[br]

0:07:07.470,0:07:09.240
in the task tab.

0:07:09.240,0:07:11.320
Copy the provided credit.

0:07:11.520,0:07:13.030
Click back on the iD editor tab[br]

0:07:13.030,0:07:15.080
in your browser.

0:07:15.080,0:07:17.080
Paste the credit in the "commit" section

0:07:17.080,0:07:19.300
of the dialogue box.

0:07:19.300,0:07:21.300
You can pause this video if you need to

0:07:21.300,0:07:23.060
get familiar with the editor[br]

0:07:23.060,0:07:25.200
and the tracing you are about to do.

0:07:26.280,0:07:28.140
Finishing a Task

0:07:28.600,0:07:30.560
When you finish mapping an area,

0:07:30.560,0:07:33.280
or simply decide to stop mapping for now,

0:07:33.280,0:07:35.460
please return to the OpenStreetMap[br]

0:07:35.460,0:07:38.780
tasking manager and either “unlock

0:07:38.780,0:07:40.780
the task” or “mark it as done.”

0:07:41.260,0:07:43.800
Unlocking the task means that you have [br]

0:07:43.800,0:07:46.226
done some of the map edits but there

0:07:46.226,0:07:47.473
are more to do.

0:07:47.473,0:07:49.570
Marking the task as done means that you

0:07:49.570,0:07:51.900
have done all of the map edits possible.[br]

0:07:52.720,0:07:54.380
When you unlock a task, the [br]

0:07:54.380,0:07:57.380
tasking manager will ask you for comments.

0:07:57.380,0:07:59.960
Feel free to make whatever comments

0:07:59.960,0:08:02.220
you feel are helpful regarding this task.

0:08:02.280,0:08:03.790
For example, you could indicate[br]

0:08:03.790,0:08:06.280
how much of the tile is complete,

0:08:06.280,0:08:09.600
or if specific features still need work.

0:08:09.840,0:08:11.620
If you have no comments to make,[br]

0:08:11.620,0:08:14.080
simply write “no comments.”

0:08:14.080,0:08:15.240
Closing[br]

0:08:15.240,0:08:16.930
If you feel like you need a little[br]

0:08:16.930,0:08:18.650
more practice before jumping in,

0:08:18.650,0:08:21.340
go back to the MapGive “learn to map” page

0:08:21.340,0:08:23.940
and watch the “how to map” video.

0:08:24.340,0:08:26.930
Follow along and practice until you feel[br]
