When I initially started adding to/editing OSM maps it was roads and trails from my GPS data. However in BC there are large areas where there is nothing on the map - so after finding this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canvec#Canvec_Product_-_Datasets I managed to d/l some tile sets from CanVec, added some roads, lakes, streams etc using Potlatch 2. I kept notes on what tiles from each set I had imported and make the edits as time allowed.
It's probably slower than using JOSM, but I found it easier to use. One of the hardest parts (for me) is to figure out what set to d/l from http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/ So my question is: Using Potlatch 2, what is the best/easiest way to figure out what set to d/l? Using the original question of the Larder Lake area in Ontario how would I get this info? Or if someone was to give me a GPS coordinate how could i find the tile set for that area?
