OpenStreetMap has created an [[Editing|online editing interface]] to allow anyone to contribute to the map. The editor allows you to [[Upload|upload]], share and trace your [[Making_GPX_Tracks|GPS tracks]] on top of free aerial and satellite imagery. The data created can then be used for free in lots of different ways that often aren't possible with commercial mapping.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap

Browse and edit the current map at openstreetmap.org

OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.

OpenStreetMap has created an online editing interface to allow anyone to contribute to the map. The editor allows you to upload, share and trace your GPS tracks on top of free aerial and satellite imagery. The data created can then be used for free in lots of different ways that often aren't possible with commercial mapping.
