Naming Cities

Posted by xlander684 on 1 October 2016 in English.

I’m very new to this community but find this very enjoyable and the amount of work put into the maps are incredible. But I have no idea how to name cities. If anyone can help it would be very appreciated

In iD and Potlatch, create a new node and search the menu for “city”. Then, select the tag and you should be able to change the name via a text box on the left.

In JOSM (which you should definitely start using), create a new node via the Add Nodes tool, then either Presets > Geography > Places > City or add the tags manually via the Tags/Memberships box:

  • Key: place, value: City,
  • Key: name, value:

*<insert your name here> Markdown thought that was a tag.

And, I almost forgot, welcome.

I think I have figured it out and I really appreciate the help _zM!
