- Welcome to OpenStreetMap, the free and editable map of the world. Now that you're signed

- on_html: |
- OpenStreetMap is a place for mapping things that are both <em>real and current</em> -
- it includes millions of buildings, roads, and other details about places. You can map
- whatever real-world features are interesting to you.
- off_html: |
- What it <em>doesn't</em> include is opinionated data like ratings, historical or
- hypothetical features, and data from copyrighted sources. Unless you have special
- permission, don't copy from online or paper maps.

- add_a_note:
- title: No Time To Edit? Add a Note!
- paragraph_1_html: |
- If you just want something small fixed and don't have the time to sign up and learn how to edit, it's
- easy to add a note.
- paragraph_2_html: |
- Just go to <a href='%{map_url}'>the map</a> and click the note icon:
- <span class='icon note'></span>. This will add a marker to the map, which you can move
- by dragging. Add your message, then click save, and other mappers will investigate.
