About OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a revolutionary, open-source platform that offers free, editable maps of the entire globe. Initiated in 2004, OSM is built by a diverse community of mappers who contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafes, railway stations, and much more all over the world.

Unlike other mapping services, OpenStreetMap emphasizes local knowledge. Individuals can contribute their own data to the map, making the service incredibly detailed and versatile. OpenStreetMap data is freely available under the Open Database License, which allows anyone to view, edit, and use the geographic data for any purpose, even commercially.
