+Locus Map allows to use great vector maps with map data from OpenStreetMap. As OSM is an open project everybody can improve the map quality. This How-To is not meant to cover all the details for mapping on OSM, but it should help you, to get a step into it.
+It's quite easy to put roads, tracks, house numbers and POIs on the map. OSM really made some great work to help new users getting started. And you - as a Locus user - can be one of them!

 Nobody gets anything. No Money! No fame! No honor!

-Because you are using maps with data that has been collected by other volunteer around the world. It's just the good feeling to help someone else and say thanks by giving something back to the comunity.

 But enough talking now, time to get started!

-===== Mapping without mapping =====
-Yes, correct. You can even help without doing a lot of work. Locus offers direct support for OpenStreetBugs:
-[[http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/]]
-==== Open Street Bugs ====
-{{ :community:osm_mapping_sb1.jpg?direct&200|}}
-OpenStreetBugs is a very easy service. No registration needed. Just click on the map and tell there what is missing. You can do this from Locus by going to the "Main Menu", click on "Functions" and choose "OpenStreetBugs". Now you should see the screen on the right.
-It is pretty self-explanatory:
-  * Under "visibility" you can toggle to display bugs.
-  * To report a bug, you can choose the location and add the description to let other mappers know, what is wrong.
-So next time you are walking, cycling or driving around something, that is missing on your vector map, simply submit a bug on OpenStreetBugs and maybe somebody will care about it sooner or later. Remember, this is not a service. It might take some time untill any volonteer has a look on it.

-==== Open Street Bugs - Perfect Example ====
-{{:community:osb_confirmed.jpg?direct&200 |}}
-That screen on the left is a perfect example, how this could work.
-  * Somebody reports what is missing or wrong.
-  * Some time later a voluntary cares about the problem.
-As you see on the timelines, this might really take some time. If you want to make changes faster, you could do it yourself!!! So why not dive deeper in that matter?
-You probably noticed that it wasn't hard to improve map data on OSM that way. It's not harder to do mapping by yourself. If you are interested, you can keep on reading...
-And who knows, maybe one day you can solve the problem from another person! :)

-After recording a track with unmapped roads, simply go to "Data -> Tracks -> Choosen Category", click on the track you've just recorded and hit export. On first time use, you will need to go through a simple authentication process. Enter the login data from [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/]] and go ahead.

 Now, Locus sends your track directly to the GPS traces in your OSM account. You can choose them to map the missing roads. This can't be done more easily!
