3.1.2 Direct contribution to OSM

It is also possible to contribute directly to OSM without using the HOT Tasking Manager. This method is only possible if you know the context of the region you are going to map as well as the ways of mapping on OSM in place in this region, as the mapping rules can vary from one country to another or from one region to another. This is why you should not hesitate to consult the mapping guidelines available on OSM Wiki which document local mapping methods.
