Collaborative vector mapping the world
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative website using wiki-like techniques tomake maps of the world. GPS traces made by physically travelling onroutes and aerial images from aircraft or satellites are used as a baselayer upon which streets and features are drawn. Out of copyright mapsfrom the 1950's can also be scanned and used. The data and softwareproduced by individuals is released under free licenses for all to rip,mix and burn.
