Welcome to OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap creates and provides 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.

I want to see maps; get out of my way!

All the resources for a complete beginner to learn about and get involved with OpenStreetMap.
