Once you have an OpenStreetMap account, you can use the [OSM iD web app](https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/#the-id-editor) to edit the maps directly on [OpenStreetMap.org](https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit).
**What you'll need**
A video tutorial can be found [here](https://rumble.com/v1ldybp-how-to-create-an-entry-on-openstreetmap..html).
- A computer with two monitors (makes life easier)
- Access to [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) (OSM), [Gitea](https://gitea.btcmap.org/) and [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#btcmap:matrix.org)
- Access to Facebook & Instagram for quick verifications
- Some OSM tagging experience, or the willingness to read our guide
- A careful eye and a bit of perseverance
**Tip**: use the same handle on OSM, Gitea and Matrix so we can ping you quickly if something looks odd
If you'd like, we'll pair you with a buddy who will walk you through tagging your very first ticket.
**Keen to help?**

If an existing Node or Way exists, use whatever is already in place. If you are adding a new element, you should add a Node representing the merchant at that location. Local taggers will handle tagging buildings as Ways as appropriate.
More information on element types can be found [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements).
## Gitea Issue Workflow
If you want to contribute to tagging globally, you can request a BTC Map Gitea account [here](https://btcmap.org/tagger-onboarding/) so that you can work on tagging Issues.
If you are working on verifying an Issue with the `location-submission` label then please self-assign this so others know you are working on it.
An Issue can have three states donated by the following labels:
- `status/pending`: The submission is being verified.
- `status/added`: The submission has been verified and has either been added to OSM or already exists on OSM.
- `status/rejected`: The submission could not be verified and was not added to OSM.
It is good practice to leave comments listing any additional steps you took to verify the accuracy of the data on the Issue or reasons for rejection.
Before closing the Issue, please also paste the URL of the OSM changeset in the comments.
