I am a new editor of OSM, and I thought I would explore the tools and update familiar areas for myself. I added and updated areas in Bronte Creek Provincial Park. The OSM tools made it really easy to add new areas, points of interest, add some walking trails and label everything with accurate details. The park was already mapped with buildings, trails, roads, parking lots and much more. A lot of what I found myself doing was adding newly labelled areas, ex. Cow Barn, Cow Pasture. I am very familiar with BCPP, and now anyone looking to go to the park can have a better idea of what is really there. OMS is very easy to navigate, and I enjoyed using this mapping software. Not only is it a great tool to add for other people to use, but it is also great to see what is really in your surroundings.

Hey, welcome to OSM. Not sure what you did, you talk about edits, but when I went to check them, I see nothing:

Are you sure you saved everything you did?

Nice post, Smith. Yeah, it’s a pretty cool app. It’s great to explore stuff with.
This is a really nice tool too. Pretty easy to use. A little tricky at first, but it’s awesome.
