Supporting and growing OpenStreetMap in the US.
关于我们
This is the US chapter of OpenStreetMap, the free, open-source map of the world created by volunteers all over the globe. We support the OpenStreetMap project in the United States through education, fostering awareness, ensuring broad availability of data, continuous quality improvement, and an active community. OpenStreetMap gives ordinary citizens the power and the tools to create a high-quality feature-rich map of their country, their states, their communities and their neighborhoods. Because the map data is free, anyone can use it to create maps for themselves, their businesses, their schools, their local governments or any other purpose they wish. More than that, OpenStreetMap US is an organization anyone can join to connect with other mappers or institutional data users. Our members range from mapping enthusiasts who want to contribute their knowledge of their local communities to geodata experts who bring technical skills to the creation of the map and professional users who leverage OpenStreetMap data commercially.

Thank you for your time and commitment, Kiri! So glad to have you on the OSM US board.
? Done! First OpenStreetMap US board meeting. I am honored and excited to support the great leadership of?Maggie C.?and carry the torch for the many great board members before me. It is SO IMPORTANT for OpenStreetMap data to be a public good and to have communities and stewards of that public good so it can benefit all of society. Through a vibrant community of mappers, developers, and like-minded organizations, I believe we can safeguard and grow this resource amidst the current uncertainty and turmoil. Join us at State of the Map US, June 19-21: https://lnkd.in/gHgZG2u3 Become a member: https://lnkd.in/g8vSvgSN Make a donation: https://lnkd.in/gR9e7je9

The Geospatial Data Divide: Who Has Access and Who Doesn't? As we celebrate 15 years of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), we reflect on a fundamental challenge: the gap between geospatial data “haves” and “have-nots.” In today’s world, data is power. It informs decisions, strengthens disaster response, and shapes policies. But not everyone has access to the data they need. While some regions benefit from vast datasets and advanced mapping tools, many local communities in low- and middle-income countries lack even the most basic geospatial information. For 15 years, HOT has worked to bridge this divide—from crisis mapping in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake to building local capacity across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through the HOT Tasking Manager, Field Mapping Tasking Manager, Drone Tasking Manager, fAIr AI-powered validation, and other open-source tools, we’re ensuring that geospatial data is not just available—but owned, used, and maintained by local communities. This reflection on who has access to geospatial data—and who doesn’t—is at the core of HOT’s work, as highlighted by Acting Co-Executive Directors Liz Chamberlain and Fabrizio Scrollini in their latest piece. As they explore the role of community-driven data in solving global challenges, they emphasize the importance of open tools, accessible training, and collaboration to bridge the geospatial divide. ??
