''Before you begin, the first rule you need to know is the use of proprietary data. Data from copyrighted maps or any other proprietary data is strictly prohibited! Copying, tracing or any reproduction of copyrighted work is not allowed! (Source: Copyright - OpenStreetMap Wiki)'' Linear features such as streets, footpaths, railways and building outlines will hereby be referred to as ways. If you suddenly realize your sidebar with all the icons have gone missing, it's because you have a feature selected on the map. Simply deselect by clicking on a blank area of the map to bring up the icons again. To create a point (or node), just drag and drop the appropriate icon from the sidebar onto the map. See Add POIs to learn more about creating a POI (Point of Interest) To create a way, begin by clicking on the map at its start point, then click at each successive point. Double-click to finish the line or press Enter. To create a polygon, begin by clicking on the map at its start point, then click at each successive point (similar to creating a way), and finish by clicking on the very first point to close the polygon. Remember, if you make a mistake, you can always hit the Undo button. Pressing the Esc key will undo all your edits for the current feature.
