Hi everyone

I found a street in a map (Spain, Alcorcon, near Madrid) who has a incomplete name. I know this because I've lived in the street during 25 years. How can this be changed?

Changing the name of the street is an easy beginner task. As you seem to already have an OSM account you can start right away by logging in at openstreetmap.org and browsing to the street you want to change. Then, click on the little arrow next to Edit from the top bar and choose Edit with iD (in-browser editor) from the drop down list to start editing with the new editor iD.

After a few seconds you should see your road and the surrounding area in the editor. Select the street you want to edit and change its name in the window appearing on the right side. After you closed this window you can click on Save at the top menu bar and your changes will be uploaded to the OSM data base.

Afterwards you need to wait a little until your changes get visible on the map. Clearing your browser cache will help.
