What is OpenStreetMap?
OpenStreetMap is a community-owned map of the world made by people like you, which anybody can use, share, and edit.
Notably, it is also used, improved, and supported by
* Organizations like United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, and Wikipedia;
* Companies like Meta (Facebook), Flickr, Apple, OLA, Strava, Snapchat, Zomato, Swiggy, Dominos, redBus, Uber, and Amazon Logistics;
* Games like Pokemon Go, Ingress, Infection-Free Zone, and FlightGear.
* Privacy-respecting free software like Organic Maps, OsmAnd, GNOME Maps, and KDE Marble.
Contributing to OpenStreetMap is fun!
* You get to explore the world, find interesting places, and document them for yourself and others.
* You improve a community resource which helps everyone and is not controlled by any one company.
* It's very satisfying to see your changes appear on the map!
