How can I get started on editing the project?

neroute2:
I'd like to start improving Mexican coverage, towards which I've been slowly working on a list. How do I edit files on the project (nobody controls Mexico)? I've seen mention of a waypoint editor; where is this?

michih:
You can find all tools here: http://travelmapping.net/devel/tools.php It's linked in the footer.
The most important tool is the wpt editor: http://travelmapping.net/wptedit/

Mexico does currently not have a maintainer. Feel free to work on drafting new wpt files but be careful with active systems.
You need to be familar with Github hwy data repository, are you?

I think I successfully submitted a simple pull request: https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/3072


Is there any way to import the waypoint list into the editor, or do you have to copy/paste from github?

mapcat:
The edit looks okay, as does the pull request. In the future you'll want to give the pull request a more descriptive title, of course.

The editor is not set up to import any files afaik. Just copy-paste into the edit window (and into the in-use labels box, if you're considering changing the name of a waypoint).

neroute2:
Is there a new URL for the manual? http://cmap.m-plex.com/tools/manual.php doesn't work and isn't archived.
