OpenStreetMap

What is OpenStreetMap?

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative, global effort to create and maintain a free, editable map of the world. It allows users to view, edit, and utilize geographic data across the entire planet. The map is built by a community of contributors, enabling a crowdsourced approach to mapping and data collection. The geodata powering the map is the primary output of this open-source project, which anyone can access and use for a variety of purposes, including navigation, geographic information systems (GIS) analysis, and more
