Hi, I need to add village names and location names to OSM Turkey. I know their coordinates. How can I do this? Many small towns and villages and city district locations are missing currently from the Turkish map. The source of my data is common knowledge. I have been to some of these villages and I have noted down their coordinates with my iPhone GPS. I am talking about 10-15 locations here. All I want to do is punch in my location data, and the name of the village / town / etc there. "Real mappers" will eventually take things forward from there. asked 30 Sep '11, 11:33 muzaffertopdagi NicolasDumoulin |
Move the map to area of the village and zoom right in.If you click on edit and choose potlach 2, login,click options tick mouse Lat Long, then the mouse pointer will show its lat long match that to the co ordinates you saved for the village.To the left of the screen there are some icons using the scroll bar among "places" there is a village sign which you can drag to the correct coordinates.the box to the left allows you to name it and source it do that click away from the village click save fill in some details of what you have done and save again thats it. job done these may help http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Video_tutorials answered 04 Oct '11, 20:15 andy mackey |

if you have an File at a common Format (GPX, Shape,KML) you can try to open that at Josm. But you should look over that data, that there isn't any duplicates. Otherwise look at this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import answered 04 Oct '11, 11:16 josias |
