Perhaps stupid but I just made an account and I placed a 'note' so that someone else can add a poi. But I would like to add them myself. Issue is, I don't see the edit button. I'm working on an Android device with Chrome as browser.

Wait till I get home? ( I don't have as pc / laptop). Or am I missing something?

You should try the OSM+VFP it's far far more detailed and up to date than Olaf. Hell it even shows powerlines and camels. lol

You can wait to you get home. Or RTFM ...
there are a number of ways of adding things to OSM .. depends on how you access it. .. assume you go through your OSM home page ... mouse over 'EDIT' top left corner and there are 3 options .. the easiest one is at the top - edit with id .. I don't use that so you'll have to fumble your way reading the manual for it..

Me? I use JOSM .. the most complex one as it can do anything - no restrictions. Sick of learning the simple one to find I need to do some thing it cannot - then learning another program .. only to find it too is restricted.. so these days I go for the most complex one.

Some of the navigation software can add things to OSM too .. Osmand for instance?

Yes, you are right about rtfm. Sorry, but got a bit carried away at the moment. I'm recording everything with my gps right now! I'd love that thing and it's fun to do. But when I'll get home I'll add them all.

And yes, I'm traveling and working on a phone so no hovering mouse for me right now. That's why I can't edit.
But thanks for the help!

:scooter:There are things you can do on the road. :thumbup1:

There are things that are better done at home. Reliving your tip through photos, notes and gps waypoints is one of them.
