Welcome to the project. I see you haven’t made any changes to the map data yet, if you need help getting started with that let us know.
The easiest way to start is to zoom in to an are of the map you would like to add something to (schools, restaurants, churches, pubs, etc, can all be added), and then click on the ‘Edit’ button at the top of the page.
This will launch the Potlatch editor. Then you can drag and drop the icons for the various things in your area onto the map, as well as add their names and other information as well. Our map is made almost entirely from the local knowledge of people all over the world. If your area is blank then it means you are the first person from that area to join the project.
Please keep in mind that we cannot copy map data from any other maps (like google, mapquest, bing, etc). This is because our goal is to freely share our map with anyone who wants it. If we copy map data from other copyrighted maps then we cannot share the data (and would be in violation of the law).
