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.

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.
Not detailed enough.
In Belguim the maps aren't correct!!!
Very good. On;y came across this thanks to Wakoopa. :)
Pretty good software. Everyone should start using this tool.
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.
