Yesterday I begun learning how to edit a map in openstreetmap by creating a map of my hometown, Santa Mariana, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. It´s very incomplete, since I´m still learning, but I think it´s a work of much social relevance, since there´s no digital map of many small towns like mine available anywhere.
I hope I can buy better equipment to make my work easier, I´m currently using potlatch and a portable car navigator with no tracking features.

I am glad to see more people helping out, Brazil is a big 'place', and it will take a lot of work getting every place on the map. I am mostly mapping in Espírito Santo.
