What is Open Mapping

Open mapping is a global movement to create free and open geographic data. Grounded in open source principles and Data Protection. HOT serves as a platform that fosters community building, collaboration and development of resources to contribute to the movement. At its core is OpenStreetMap (OSM), a crowdsourced project to map the world driven by a growing community of mappers.

Check out the resources available within LearnOSM, to get started on OSM or use the many tools available to edit or use the open data.
If you are interested in contributing or repurposing our tools, you can access all our code, documentation, and other resources on GitHub.
