 OpenStreetMap is the premier source of open geo data, allowing you to take control of your maps. Rather than relying on a handful of tech corporations based in USA, you can host your own maps. Why not switch away from the handful of US tech companies, to your own maps today? 🙂 State of the Map 2025, the annual global #OpenStreetMap conference is looking for a logo! Are you artistic?

  "OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in...The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " -- Steve Coast, reflecting on 20 years of OpenStreetMap on the OSM blog https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2024/08/09/openstreetmap-at-20/  It's time to choose the next group of board members for the OSMF.

If you've seen weird things on the map (e.g. lots of crossing white lines), that could be vandalism.

It is NOT the best map in the world  @openstreetmap a simple filter that checks if the distance between a changed node to it's neighbours has increased dramatically should help with one type of vandalism @SomeoneElse @openstreetmap since last two versions my current location is showing with some offset. the version i got is Organic Maps version: 2024.06.02-11 on ios 17.5.1. the apple apps shows correct location. any hints how to debug this? |

@openstreetmap
I spent part of my walk yesterday updating and confirming details for OSM using Street Complete. It's a fun activity, although it must look a bit dodgy from an outsiders perspective.
@openstreetmap I like the idea of an open street map, but my primary concern is geo accuracy.
Thus far, Google Maps is the best for where I travel.
@openstreetmap I need navigation and live traffic issues. What do you have?
I’d pay for a good solution too.
