You’re doing a really good job, Marcie. Re the addresses, if you’ve got an Android smartphone, I think having a look at StreetComplete https://streetcomplete.app/?lang=en-gb would help.

Take care,

Hi, Marcie.

Well done for taking your first foray into editing the best map in the world! You’re bound to make some mistakes as you go along, we all do.

Something to watch out for, is importing information from sources that don’t have a compatible licence. The government map you refer to, may have some sort of proprietary licence; it’s best, if possible, to survey in person, and update OSM with what you can see. The other downside of relying on other maps, is you may introduce errors to OSM, from poorly verified local maps. Just something to watch out for.

Not sure whether you’ve heard of it, but an app called StreetComplete is good for adding information.

Good luck,

Chris (UK)

Cool, have fun. Don’t forget the quick and easy updates that you can do, using the StreetComplete smartphone app.
