+layout: doc +title: Editing with Potlatch 2 +permalink: /en/beginner/editing-with-potlatch 2 +lang: en +category: beginner +--- + +Editing with Potlatch 2 +======================= + +**Introduction** +Potlatch 2 is the OpenStreetMap editor you get when you click on +the 'Edit' tab of the osm website, it was rewritten from the original Potlatch, +and it includes a What You See Is What You Get(WYSIWYG) rendering. + +You can use it to add new roads, buildings, and other features to the map, as well as changing existing ones. +Online means that you do not have to download or install anything: you can make live edits, +as long as you have a good internet connection, and a web browser with flash player installed on your computer. + +**How to run Potlatch** +----------------------- + +1. Open your browser (Flash/Gnash/SWF-enabled), and go to OpenStreetMap. +2. Login . +3. Search, locate and zoom into the area you want to edit. +4. Click the "Edit" tab, or hover the mouse over the edit tab and select potlatch 2, then potlatch + will be launched within the browser + +Note: +- Incase the browser is not flash enabled, potlatch 2 will not be launched, but there will be + a link on the page from where you can download and install adobe flash player. +- When you click edit without logging into your OpenStreetMap account, you will + be asked to login in order to edit the map. + +### The Interface +When you open potlatch for the first time, there will be an interface (see image below) +with tools to help you edit the map, in most cases, a help window will be displayed with quick tips +and buttons/tabs which you can navigate to show how to use potlatch. +- image Opening potlatch for the first time +![](path/to/image) + +Click “Ok” when you are done with going through the tips, to start editing. + +The potlatch editing interface is organized the same way as the osm main page, it has the left panel, menu bar, +the aerial/satellite view, the toolbox, zoom in/out buttons with the search icon, which all have different +functionalities; + +- image controls for potlatch editing +![](path/to/image) + +1. **The Menu Bar** +It has controls like the save, undo and redo buttons (inactive until there are changes made to the map) +used to save, reverse and resume someone's edits. + +When saving edits for the first time, a text box pops up, where you can write a description of your changes +which are recorded in a “change set”. + +The background tab, has a drop down that enables selection of different layers and satellite providers +over which to edit in potlatch such as (Bing aerial imagery, mapBox Satellite OSM-mapnik, e.t.c). +The background is not editable. + +The map style changes the visual appearance of the potlatch editing nodes and lines between wire-frame, +enhanced, OpenCycleMap and Potlatch, but the functionality remains the same and +you can customize styles to have a keyboard shortcut for each. + +The gps data tab enables loading of GPS traces uploaded in a gpx file to the OpenStreetMap database by users +to view gps data in an area, view their very own uploaded gps traces and clear the display of gps data. + +The options tab provides you with other settings for potlatch, such as displaying and removing the tool box, +showing the mouse latitude/longitude as you map, and the contextual help bar at the bottom of the editing window. + +2. **The Satellite / Aerial View (Bing Imagery)** +This shows features from the overhead pictures taken from a plane or satellite, zoom in one level at a time +(depending on your internet connection) for a clear view of features.In some areas the satellite imagery will +disappear beyond certain zoom levels. + +Levels between 17 – 19 will be clear enough for the bing imagery to act as a background which shows +visible features that can be edited directly if you know what they represent, such as buildings, land use, and roads. + +Features traced with the bing imagery need to be tagged and named in order to be represented on the map. +Areas that do not have the satellite imagery available will show a white blank background. The Bing maps imagery +is provided by Microsoft. + +3. **Zoom (in/out) and Search icon** +Use these controls when you want to zoom in and out of an area that you would like to edit +(plus (+) for zooming in, and (-) for zooming out), depending on the speed of the Internet connection, +zoom one level at a time, then wait for the data in that area to load, before you start editing. + +The search icon enables you to find a different place of interest, that can be edited without leaving the +potlatch editing interface, a dialogue where you can search for an area to edit is presented, +where you can type and receive results from which to select where to edit. + +4. **Editing panel** +This panel has editing tools that can be used by simply dragging and dropping icons to their +corresponding features, the result is a node with a name/icon of what is represented. +The simple editing mode presents a user with graphical icons that show images that relate to different features. + +The panel icons (images) show how the named features will be rendered in the osm standard mode (view), +they are grouped according to categorizes like: shopping, food and drink, amenity, transport, water, and so on. + +*Other ways of Editing* +- image for advanced tagging +![](path/to/image001) + +5. **The Tool Box** +The tool box assists you to make accurate features by straightening, joining nodes, merging, deleting, and +making nodes square, parallel, round and reversing the direction for different ways. + +###Potlatch Editing Tips +Before you begin editing, the first rule is the use of proprietary data: data from +copyrighted maps or any other proprietary data is strictly prohibited!. Tracing, or any act of +reproduction of copyrighted work is not allowed! + +**Points of interest** +Linear features such as streets, footpaths, railways, and building outlines may be referred to as ways. +You can edit points for shops, health centers, schools, and the like by simply double-clicking at the right location. +- Select to highlight the point. +- Drag the point around with the mouse +- Press Delete (or Backspace) to remove the point. +- Press Esc to revert all your changes. + +*To insert a new node on a way* +- Click on the way to highlight it, then Shift-click at the desired place where to draw the new node. +*To insert a new single node* +- Double click at the desired place. +- To delete, click on the node to highlight it, and Press Delete or Backspace. + +**Drawing a new way** +A way is a line that you draw on the map: it might be a road, a railway, a river, a fence, a boundary or a +power line. Each way is a series of joined 'points' (or nodes). +Draw the ways using your own knowledge of what features exist, using track logs of +journeys you have made with a GPS receiver; or by tracing from the satellite photo background. (Bing! Aerial Imagery). +*Steps* +- Click on the map to start a new way. +- Click at each successive point. If you make a mistake, press Delete (or Backspace). +- To finish, double-click, press Enter, Esc, or click the start point again to make a loop. +*If you make a mistake* +- Press Delete or Backspace (while drawing) to remove just the last point. +- Press Esc to cancel the whole way and to stop drawing. + +**To extend a way** +- Click on the first or last point to highlight it. (or press shift + click). + A small black dot may appear next to your cursor. +- Move the cursor in the direction you want to extend the way. + A black line will extend from the last node to your cursor. Click to create a new node. + Keep drawing points to continue extending the way. +- To finish, double-click on the last node or press Enter. If you are making a loop, click the start + point again just once. +*To delete an entire way or segment of a way:* +- Click on the way to highlight it, and press Delete or Backspace. + +**Undoing mistakes** +If you make a mistake while editing, you can change it before it is saved to the server, or cancel it +entirely with the Esc key, but if you have saved it and realize you've made a mistake, you can click the +undo tab on the menu bar, or press 'Z' or 'Ctl + Z', to undo the mistake. + +**Realigning the Background Layer** +- With background images, sometimes you'll notice they are not aligned with the OSM data. + If this is the case, hold down Space on your keyboard and drag the background image to its correct location. + +**GPS data/My tracks** +- Selecting the GPS tab on the menu bar will display gps traces, and on the drop down arrow + gps data will display thin blue lines representing all gps tracks in the area. +- Selecting My tracks will enable display of a dialogue with your own tracks that you loaded into OSM + via the GPS traces; upload a trace function. +- Selecting clear will switch gps traces off in the editor, or go to Background -> Vector file... and unselect GPS.
