There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/
https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
Hi, that is an excellent question, but I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
Are you trying to add some virtual points to a trip you are planning? (i.e. "at this point, I will have travelled 1 mile")
Or are you trying to add physical milestones (or historical milestones) into the shared geospation database called "OpenStreetMap"?
If so, the approach will be completely different.
milestones into the OSM database. I think I figured it out https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=40.24135&lon=-82.96042#map=19/40.24125/-82.96012
I think you've mis-tagged that and it should be highway=milestone.
Thats what I wasn't sure on. I found some pages saying highway but other saying path. Was trying to figure out whats the most current.
I'm no expert but it's what I'd go for!
