What is OpenStreetMap?
OpenStreetMap is a map built by a community of volunteer mappers who add and maintain data on roads, trails, cafes, railway stations and more worldwide. The data supplies maps for thousands of websites, mobile apps and hardware devices. The site says you may use the data for any purpose if you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors, with share-alike conditions if you alter or build on it. The site is run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
Pros: what OpenStreetMap does well
- Free map data you can use for any purpose with credit
- Built and updated by volunteers worldwide
- Powers many other maps and apps
Cons: where it falls short
- Detail varies by area
- You must credit contributors and follow licence terms
Who OpenStreetMap is for
Anyone who wants an open map or open map data for a project.
Who can skip it
People who just want turn-by-turn directions in a ready-made app.
