2. What is openstreetmap?
The openstreetmap “one-liner”
A web project to create a free and open map of
the entire world, built entirely from volunteers
surveying with GPS, digitizing aerial imagery, and
collecting and liberating existing public sources of
geographic data.

3. Facts on remote OSM work in Haiti
Day 1 Day 28
OSM data in SHP & GPS map extracts (Garmin) available day 1; WFS day 2
OSM = roads core data set (OCHA Core Data sets check-list).
OSM data used as SHP, WFS, WMS in responders mapping production
26 hours to get imagery released and 48 hours to get 1st imagery loaded on
the OSM platform available for tracing

16. Direct measurements: walking papers
Combined, GPS and Walking Papers
can be used for rapid surveying and
ground truthing.
Walking Papers allow users to print out
small sections of the OSM map. In the
field, these paper maps can be used to
draw new features, annotate existing
data, and take notes that will help with
the import of GPS data.
Icons in each of the corners and a
unique code for each Walking Paper let
users scan the paper and upload to
OSM so the notes can be viewed in an
editing environment.

39. Quality: Muki Aklay (UCL) positional accuracy comparisons
United Kingdom: OSM - Ordnance Survey Meridian II database
Haiti: OSM - GoogleMapMaker – MINUSTAH/CNIGS
The analysis shows that, where OSM
was collected by several
users and benefited from some
quality assurance, the quality
of the data is comparable and can be
fit for many applications.
The positional accuracy is about 6
metres, which is expected
for the data collection methods that
are used in OSM. The
comparison of motorways shows
about 80% overlap between
OSM and OS .
