There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
I've found there are wayyyy more options through the OSM website editor than through Street Complete. When I encounter stuff like this while out walking, I'll usually add a note for that location and then add the data when I get back to my computer. You can add a note by tapping and holding a spot on the map, then choosing "Create new note"
Looks like there's a perfect option for it on the iD editor!
Gotcha, I've never actually used the website, I guess I'll give it a go. Thanks for your help!
There's a very helpful tutorial if you want to get into adding buildings and roads, but otherwise you can just click on the building and change its type without much hassle. :)
I'll start with the basic stuff for now, but I'd love a link to the tutorial so I can work my way up to doing more ☺️ thanks for your friendly and helpful responses, I appreciate it!
It pops up when you open the editor for the first time!
Oh gotcha- I'm excited to give it a shot. Thanks for your help!
