Launch OpenStreetMap and search for the location of the ALPR. You can use the search bar at the top of the page to find the location.
Once you've found the location of the ALPR, click the Edit button in the top left corner of the page. This will open the OpenStreetMap editor, where you can add the ALPR to the map.
Add cameras as standalone points only! Do not connect them to roads, buildings, or other objects. Place the point exactly where the camera is physically located, but keep it as an independent point on the map.
To add the ALPR, click the Point button at the top center of the editor, then click on the location of the ALPR on the map. In the popup that appears, paste one of the following sets of tags based on the brand of the ALPR:
After copying the tags, paste them into the Tags field in the popup.
If you know the direction that the ALPR is facing, you can use the up and down arrows to set the direction it faces.
To report two cameras that are on the same pole, separate directions with a semi-colon (;).
Once you've added the ALPR to the map, click the Save button in the top right corner of the editor. You'll be asked to provide a brief description of your changes. Once you've submitted your changes, the ALPR will be added to OpenStreetMap.
We pull data from OpenStreetMap hourly, so it may take up to an hour for your changes to appear on this site. Rest assured that your changes will be reflected here soon. As we continue to scale, we hope to reduce this delay.
