Beginnings and Response Today

OpenStreetMap “The Wikipedia of Maps”

OpenStreetMap.org

Most maps that you think of as free have legal or technical restrictions.

The “open” in OpenStreetMap means the data is free for anyone

to use, remix and redistribute

In exchange you must credit OpenStreetMap

and share improvements back for everyone

We use the principles of open source and open geographic data for humanitarian response and economic development
