For adding streets it would be best to use iD (web editor from osm.org) or JOSM desktop app.
If the satellite imagery is not available (iD one or in JOSM - those are approved satellite sources, that we can use - you can't use googles). In iD you just click on 3D hamburger on the right and select the source.
Other option is to make a gps trace you can use any application and upload GPX it later on on the osm.org webpage or you can use OSMTracker for Android and make a trace and upload it directly from the phone.
- seren 9y agoThe issue with satellite imagery is that usually forest road/path are missing because they are covered with foliage. So I concur in this case, the easiest way is to create a gps trace you can upload and then edit with iD on openstreetmap.org
- andygates 9y agoOSMTracker has handy points and text notes, which makes it my choice for detail mapping a blank area.
