OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. The document discusses that OpenStreetMap now has over 5,000 users who have collected over 55 million GPS points and mapped approximately 5 million streets, with the United Kingdom expected to be completely mapped by 2008. It also notes that the city of Brighton is expected to be completely mapped by the summer of 2007 and discusses some of the technical issues and processes involved in OpenStreetMap's collaborative mapping efforts.
