### OpenStreetMap - How to Contribute & Edit

-------

OpenStreetMap.org makes it very easy to edit and contribute to their project by letting you edit the world map in a web browser.

Their website has a quick easy tutorial that steps you through the basics in just a few minutes, and the editing interface is very intuitive and easy to use.

You can do things like add and edit houses, businesses, boundaries, and other buildings . . as well as add and edit roads.

After changes are reviewed, they will show up for everyone on OpenStreetMap.org, and will also get pulled into the OsmAnd navigation appand the Organic Maps navigation apps.

In OsmAnd, the updates will not automatically show up. You must have "Live Updates" turned on . . in the Download Maps area.

To contribute to, or edit OpenStreetMap, all you have to do is:

1. Create an account at OpenStreetMap.org & log in

2. Zoom in to the area you want to edit

3. Click the "Edit" button

4. Go through the "Walkthrough" tutorial, which can be found in the lower right "Help" icon, once you are in edit mode.
