Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a map of the whole world which can be used and edited freely by everyone. In a Wikipedia-like open community process, thousands of contributors world-wide survey the planet and upload their results to the OpenStreetMap database.

This book

• Introduces you to the OpenStreetMap community, the data model, and the software used in the project.
• Enables you to use the constantly growing OSM data set and maps in your own projects.
• Explains in detail how you can help collecting and processing data for OpenStreetMap.

If you want to become an OSM "Mapper" then this book is the ideal starting point.
