Mapiteers

Mapiteers are individuals or groups that actively share, promote, or distribute geographic and mapping information online. They participate in collaborative efforts like editing and improving digital maps, often through platforms such as OpenStreetMap. Think of them as community cartographers who contribute their local knowledge to create more accurate, detailed maps that benefit everyone—from travelers to urban planners. Their work enhances geographic data accessibility and quality, helping improve navigation, emergency response, and development projects worldwide.
