Step 1: Find a Feature to Map

 

While most editors will come across a missing feature (a feature not already represented by a point on the map) when editing existing features, you may also actively seek out features that are missing.

 

See the following topics for additional information and examples of different ways to check for missing points:

 

Personal Knowledge

Area of Interest

Structure Type of Interest

Post Offices

 

 

 

In this example we will add and edit the Houston School of Carpentry, which is not yet represented by a point in the online map editor.  

 

The name and address for the Houston School of Carpentry can be found on their official website (which is considered an authoritative source):
