Hi I was wondering how to mark my college campus as a college rather then a school. I am trying to play pokemon go and i noticed that my college campus is marked as a school rather then a college.
Hello! You can get started at https://openstreetmap.org/edit, it should give you a rundown of the basics.
You can change the tagging on the school to amenity=college. Be aware of the pitfalls though, a college can refer to different things depending on where you live. This tag is specifically intended for institutions you go into after secondary education.
It might be a good idea to add an isced:level=* for clarity

Please don’t make “incorrect” changes to OSM just to make things appear in PoGo!
It’s also pretty pointless doing so, as Niantic only update their base maps ~2 years, so any changes you make today, won’t actually effect the game till then!
