Starting...

Posted by Vermsi on 16 September 2008 in English.

I'm just getting to know OSM, added the first few streets - and I'm excited!
My goal is to cover at least Altdorf (Uri, Switzerland). So the next steps will probably be to make a plan about how to systematically add the all streets.
Start with the bigger streets first? Or split up the village in smaller areas and track one area after the other? Hmmm, I think the best will be to sleep over that hard decision... ;-)

By the way: I discovered that someone named some streets in Swissgerman dialect. I didn't remove the tags, but renamed the parameter from "name" to "name:dialect" and added the official streetnames as "name". I hope not to offend anyone by doing that.
