OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people from the entire world.
People make the maps using data from a GPS device and pictures from airplaces. Both pictured and the vector information can be downloaded under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence.[1]
OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.
