GIS Challenge for Geography Awareness Week

Using your spatial skills to find mystery locations.

What Is OpenStreetMap?

OpenStreetMap (OSM) endeavors to provide open geospatial data and maps of the world, relying on users to detail localities.  OpenStreetMaps is fostered by community participation to create rich and useful spatial resources.  Recently OSM editathons are cropping up, which is an event organized for people to come together and collect data to add to OSM.
