OSM License

In order to coordinate the various mappers collaboratting on this task the OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager (OSMTM) is going to need to access your OSM account. If you havent logged in when you select a grid square to edit it OSMTM will ask permision at that time. Once logged OSMTM will ask you which editor you prefer to use. For first time editors iD may be the easiest. If imagery has been provided for the grid square you have selected than you may be required to agree to the terms of a license to make use of the imagery. If a license agreement appears at this stage please review it before signing.

OSM iD Editor Settings Brightness Adjustment

Often the default brightness settings in iD editor makes the background imagery difficult to see, but increasing the brightness will help. You can do this in the “Background settings” tab (Shortcut: b).

Splitting A Square

Having selected your square and inspected it with the imagery in place, you may realise that there is far too much detail for one person to map. In this case you may want to split your square into smaller more reasonable tasks. As a general rule if you think that it will take longer than 2 hours to map all the tasks features in one square than you should probably split it up.

It is important to use caution when splitting squares because it comes at a cost - any usefull comments previously completed in the square will be lost.

To split your sqare simply click split the button in Tasking Manager

Unclassified Roads

Tertiary roads connect towns and villages and are typically the major road passing through a village in the Saraya District. Unclassified roads also tend to be wider and more obvious from the satellite imagery than residential roads.

Roads Must Intersect

Roads must be connected where they intersect. Make sure the roads connect to each other where they cross. You should see a node appear at each intersection.
