This tutorial will show you how to use OpenStreetMap iD to make edits to street networks and export these changes as a changeset to use in Podaris.
Alongside other project types such as Networks, Datasets and Tilesets, Podaris features a project type called Streets, designed to store a collection of street networks.
In this tutorial, we are going to look at how to use the third-party application OSM iD, an editor for OpenStreetMap (OSM) in order to edit and export a OSM changeset for use in Podaris.
Step-by-step Walkthrough
Step 1:
Go to www.openstreetmap.org and zoom into the area you would like to edit.
Step 2:
Click on the down arrow next to edit and select Edit with iD.
Step 3:
Click on a feature to edit the tags. This allows you to make changes to feature type, maximum speed and access.
Step 4:
You can also create new features by clicking on Point, Line or Area at the top of the map. To create a new road, footway or cycleway, click line.
Step 5:
If your feature connects to an existing feature, click on the existing feature to ensure they are connected. You can click on the map to add a point at corners and intersections. Once you have finished drawing the road, click esc on your keyboard to stop drawing.
You can then set the type of feature, and tags such as maximum speed and access on the left hand side.
Step 6:
Once you have made your changes, click on the save button in the top left. This will show all of the changes you made as well as any warnings.
Once you are happy, click Download osmChange file to download the changeset.
