OSM Contributors

OSM Contributors are individuals who voluntarily add, update, and improve data on OpenStreetMap (OSM), a free, collaborative digital map of the world. They input information such as roads, buildings, parks, and points of interest, making the map more accurate and detailed. Contributors use various tools and devices to capture geographic data, which is then shared openly for anyone to use—from app developers to researchers. Their collective effort ensures OSM remains a current and reliable resource, fostering community participation and democratizing map creation.
