OSM Surveyors Jacket

The OSM Surveyors Jacket is a high-visibility vest with OpenStreetMap logos and the word "Surveyor" written across the back. It's great for advertising the project when you are out and about, as well as poking fun at "proper" surveyors and giving an air of authority to mapping activities.

They were originally produced in 2008 by Graham Smith. For more details see [1]. Over the years new batches have been produced and shipped around the world. Perhaps the most famous recipient of a vest is Tim Berners-Lee - the inventor of the world-wide web - after an enthusiastic TED talk promoting OpenStreetMap in February 2009.

Buying one

The OSMF sell these vests for fundraising and promotion. They are often for sale at OpenStreetMap events and there are a few members who keep their own stock to take to events. They are also available for individual purchase with international delivery at the OpenCycleMap shop
