[Talk-se] Edit path on private property

[Anders Torger]

Det finns ingen formell organisation som sådan utan vem som helst kan gå 
in och redigera, även du. Det bästa är om du själv skapar en användare 
på openstreetmap och går in och redigerar, det går att göra direkt i 
webbläsaren. Det bästa är om folk med lokalkännedom är de som 
kartlägger.
