Where to map?

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I’m glad you’ve came here, especially with the will to help out people across the world, it’s always nice and welcome! As previously said by jimkats, HOTosm will have tasks available for you to help contribute to places around the world that need help, ex. with flooding responses, disaster preparation, etc. One thing about your diary post is mapping in active warzones (you mentioned Ukraine + Gaza), this is something that is heavily discouraged in the OSM community due to risks for the people on the ground who are involved in the war. HOTosm actually had to disable mapping in Ukraine due to the risk of malicious actors using OSM data to carry out attacks, which is not something that we want to be doing. Otherwise, check out HOTosm or keep up with issues around the world, that can bring you places to map. Happy mapping!

Removing private trail from map

Hi! I see you are having some trouble with the map, rather than deleting the trail entirely, scroll down until where you see “Allowed Access”, put private in the all field, which will make it private. To upload your changes, click the save button in the top right corner, add a changeset comment in the textbox on the left side of the screen, and press the blue upload button below it.
