The 4th most popular geographic tool on the Web

OpenStreetMap is a project to provide maps, like Google Maps does. Unlike sites like Google, though, OpenStreetMap provides its data freely under a Creative Commons licence. The site relies on its users to utilise their GPS devices to record roads, something that can be done through several pieces of software available for platforms ranging from Linux to PocketPC to iPhones. These pieces of software produce journeys which can be traced around, labelled using software and then uploaded to OSM. As roads change, other users can then edit these pieces of information.

    An ever improving and active platform. Very detailed in certain area's, needing work in others. But wait, it's open nature means YOU can help! Instead of complaining about detail, go and fill in the blanks!

    My favorite tool for all operations with maps!

    I'm only waiting for a time when most popular social services and networks migrates from closed and much worse Google Maps to this wonderful service.

    It's great, it's free, and their maps works with Garmin, with some tricks. What do you want more? Need some contribution on some areas.
