==Welcome to OpenStreetMap==
OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.

Browse some of our existing maps in the [[featured images]] section, or using the [http://almien.co.uk/OSM/Places/?action=recent city browser].

Get instructions for creating your own maps on the [[Portal:Users|new user page]].

Anyone can edit the current map using one of our [[Editing|map editors]], or [http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces upload] and share your GPS tracklogs. Before you can upload, or edit, you will need to '''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/create-account.html create an account]'''.
