This video is a tutorial on how to map the electrical transmission grid in OpenStreetMap using JOSM. From installing JOSM, to mapping and uploading lines, towers and substations, this 21 minute tutorial will give you the sufficient tools to start mapping, and making an impact yourself! _______________________________________________________________________ Update! The good first line spreadsheet shown in the video, has now been upgraded to a webpage and is much simpler to use.

MapYourGrid is a free, open-source initiative. We want to empower a global community of citizens and organizations to create and maintain data on the core infrastructures of our modern society. Check out our website: Reach us at mapyourgrid@ or on our discord group. Join our Wednesday community mapping sessions! Warning! When "loading" a country or region, our map only loads power data and not other data in OSM. So please do not map non-power related infrastructure using our tools.
