Hi Barbara, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Steve has forwarded your question to this mailing list for newcomers to OpenStreetMap. You can join the list here: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies The waypoints that you have collected might be suitable for OpenStreetMap. Can you describe what the waypoints are? We aim to collect information for OpenStreetMap that is verifiable, substantial and durable[1]. So if your waypoint is a permanent marker of some type, then OpenSeaMap will be happy to have it. You would contribute that harbor bouy to OpenStreetMap, and OpenSeaMap would make pictures of that data so that you could see it. For more details on OpenSeaMap have a look here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openseamap Feel free to join this list and ask more questions. [1] There are exceptions, like political boundaries, which while often unmarked are very reassuring to see on a map. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
