Edit the Map |
Quickly get started with editing and contibuting to OpenStreetMap via the Tasking Manager. You can volunteer your time to active mapping projects and support organizations in need of map data around the world. Check out OpenMapKit or Maps.me for field based editing of OpenStreetMap. In low-bandwidth or disconnected environments, Field Papers can be used for paper-based data capture and POSM can be used for offline OSM editing. |

Access OSM Data |
To access OSM data, HOT built the Export Tool which allows anyone to create custom extracts of OSM based on the area and type of data you want to access. Export Tool allows you to save, rerun, and share OSM data. Exports for selected countries with active disaster or crisis responses are also available via HDX. |

Analyze the Data |
To understand more about how and when editing took place, or assess quality within OSM, use the OSM Analytics suite of tools. You can view how data has changed over time within OSM, understand quality within an area, or analyze what type of data is available. |
