You can do lots.

Reach out to fellow mappers around your area, you’re likely to get a lot of tips from them.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

a beer for your neighbourhood, a case of beer for you village. How about that? :D)))

Your address is searchable, but not your business name.

@dekstop, I’m curious to know why you have separate tables for iD and JOSM editors. :) Also, it would be interesting what those users use outside of mapathon events.

Everyone will likely agree that iD editor is an easy-to-use, convenient editor. I personally still use iD for quick and simple edits, if I don’t have a running JOSM instance (because that’s quicker than JOSM’s startup time).

I think the progression from iD to JOSM is an indicator of a user’s sincere interest in contributing data. Learning JOSM is an investment in time and effort, and with first-time participants in mapping events, the steeper learning curve of JOSM vs iD is a possible turn-off, and we don’t want to turn people off based on their first impression.

What we’ve discovered about iD is that it’s seems to be a bandwidth hog, compared to JOSM. And bandwidth is always a challenge for many of the events we’re in to, which only adds to our frustration.

Very interesting data @Desktop. What does your data say about ID editors who move to other editors (JOSM?), and vice versa? My theory is that if new mappers are really interested in mapping in the long her, they’d learn about JOSM eventually, and likely on their own.

Our experience in the Philippines is to teach with iD for mapathons or introductory workshop/mind-seeding events, but promote JOSM during hands-on work to demonstrate how much easier it is for certain tasks. Internally, our community continue to debate on this approach.

Welcome! Mapping with OSM could be fun, serious, or both at the same time. 😁

Good job, Maning!

Yey for OsmAnd!

Wow! A post from the future? »>”2019”

:P

Cheers,

P.S.

After displaying the general area indicated by coordinates, the user will utilize Bing imagery to trace, tag, the feature(s).

Assuming we are importing the coordinates as they are, this may be a useful reference for the discussion on coordinates: Is it acceptable to use coordinates from Google Maps and/or Earth on Wikipedia?

Takeaway: It’s okay as long as the geographic coordinates are not from Google’s geocoding service.

Option 2, appears to be the prudent way to go. Do not fold the coordinates into OSM, use them instead to identify the general area to work (identify, trace, tag) on.
