==Welcome to OpenStreetMap==
*********
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.


PLEASE DISCUSS FIRST!
Browse and edit the current map at '''[http://www.openstreetmap.org openstreetmap.org]''', or '''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/create-account.html create an account]''' where you can upload your GPS tracklogs


Always add a discussion point to "Talk:Main Page" before making any changes to this page

Welcome to OpenStreetMap, the project that creates and distributes free geographic data for the world. We started it 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.
