OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source project that aims to create a free editable map of the world by allowing users to collect and contribute geographic data. Users can map their neighborhoods by recording observations, adding metadata, and rendering the data as a map. The OSM data is licensed under the Open Database License to allow for reuse and editing of the map.
