What is OpenStreetMaps (OSM)? Founded by Steve Coast in 2004 Started in the United Kingdom 750,000 users (August 29, 2012)
What is OpenStreetMaps (OSM)? Copyright free Maps can be used by anyone without copyright restrictions Editable by anyone Anyone can contribute new data to the map or even edit the existing data A free and open data source The raw map data is available for anyone to use in whatever way they like
Why? Existing Data not Free & Open Limits your rights to use the data as you wish Data as a Static Snapshot Commercial data may be years old Existing data not editable If you discover an error in an existing map, you cannot instantly edit it
On the web Main site http://www.openstreetmap.org Wiki (the first point of call for all aspects of OSM-related information) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/
How does it work? Provide an Open Platform OSM Users may freely input and extract data Raw sources for OSM map GPS track logs Existing Free Data Sources (eg TIGER/LINE, Ordnance Survey OpenData) Historical Maps – Out of Copyright mapping Bing, Yahoo! Aerial Imagery Users Create Map from Raw Sources Via Online and Offline Editing Software
Building Blocks Minimal Data Set for Maximum Flexibility Nodes Ways Tags –Annotations as key/value pairs Full User History and Rollback ability
In-field Mapping •Survey the ground using a GPS •Upload the GPS track to the OpenStreetMap site •Mark sites of interest as waypoints •Use an OSM editor to create the actual map data
Editing JOSM Standalone editor Cross platform (written in Java 1.6) Powerful and flexible Potlatch Online Flash editor Easy to use
