Hi, I would like to create a map of the different parking permit zones in my town. I was planning to create a private map first then put it public so it gives me times to create it. I'm very new on this site and I haven't found the way to do a private map. Anyone could help? Thanks asked 21 Sep '16, 20:11 Corol aseerel4c26 ♦ |
You can use the editor JOSM and save your .osm file locally, re-edit it later on, and at some day integrate it into the OSM data. Keep in mind that OSM data is ever changing, so "integrate" is important! Now the downside: if you are "very new on this site" this is not that easy. JOSM is not that easy to use directly at the start (maybe depends if you are a techy person or not). There are not really other options. Somehow a workaround is to make a map overlay in, for example, uMap as your playground and after you have collected all your info you can enter it, manually, as new data into OSM. Suggestion: get to know OSM, work on other stuff first and then, later, return to your zones. answered 21 Sep '16, 20:46 aseerel4c26 ♦ Thanks a lot for your help! I might get started with easier stuffs and do the zones later on.

While aseerel has given a good direct answer to your question, I would suggest that you do not make a big offline/private edit to later upload in one go, especially if you are a relative newbie:
Upload a few permit zones at a time. If you are unsure about your edits, ask for somebody to review them, before they get so big that they get cumbersome to review. answered 22 Sep '16, 11:08 Vincent de P... ♦ Thanks, Vincent! I was assuming that the parking permit zones are not mappable in pieces. If they are - yes, @Corol, go for Vincent's advice and add your zones. However, I still think, it is good to start with other stuff first. "Zones" do not sound that easy to me.
