Beginnings and Response Today

OpenStreetMap “The Wikipedia of Maps”

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
