The iD editor also offers a great walkthrough that will teach you the basics of editing on OpenStreetMap. This will open the ID editor, a fast and easy-to-use editor for OpenStreetMap. Now you can go to the map, zoom in to the area where you want to make changes and click on the ‘Edit’ button on the top left. If you want to contribute to OpenStreetMap you need to create an account on OSM to start editing. Anyone can contribute to OpenStreetMap and the site in turn shares its data with other websites, apps, and hardware devices, so that people benefit from local information as much as possible. OpenStreetMap is a map built by a community of users who contribute and maintain map data like roads, trails, cafés, railway stations and other information all over the world.

Note: If you want to suggest an edit but don't want to make it yourself, you can find instructions here: Suggesting map edits to OpenSteetMap About OpenStreetMap If you notice an error on the komoot map, such as a missing street or incorrect access permission, you can correct this error by editing it on OpenStreetMap. Komoot maps, and therefore the route planner, use map data from OpenStreetMap, an open-source website.
