What is OpenStreetMap?
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free, community‑built world map, created by volunteers who survey their local areas and add details like paths, shops, benches, cycle lanes, building info, and accessibility data. Think Wikipedia for maps — open data, editable by anyone, used by thousands of apps and services.
