Quick Setup: OpenStreetMap (OSM)

How to help mapping

  1. Create an account at https://www.openstreetmap.org/

    Best to do it on a computer. Because there is a small tutorial on how to use the online editor aka iD1.

    The editor is only necessary if you want to change data or add new objects to the map.

  2. Install the StreetComplete app2 and login with your account data from OpenStreetMap

The StreetComplete app provides small quests and by solving them you are actively contributing to mapping.
