New to Open Street Map

That was actually helpful. Thank you.

I was able to list my office. It took me a few seconds to find the “save” button, but all is good.

I also took a look around to see if there is any data that I could enter to add value. There are many trails in my area. They are already marked. I look at things like the school athletic fields. They are identified, but not by field number. That could add value, but I have a hesitancy to not modify what somebody else has already put in there.

No need to respond. Just my thoughts as somebody on the front end of the learning curve of wiki-stuff.

Thank you again. Paul

I never ended up adding to the map. I think I appreciate what you are doing with a wiki type map. My business is a real estate brokerage, and does not seem to be included in the type of map entries allowed (hospitals, bars, etc). I don’t want to spam the site, as described.

In my opinion, on this site, for the information to become of value to the user it needs to be adopted and contributed to by many users. The restrictive feel of the data inputs is not conducive to that.
