Introduction

Open Street Map (OSM) is an open and editable map. It has a global coverage, and is created and edited by a community effort.

Please visit the OSM project homepage (http://www.openstreetmap.org) in order to learn more and also how to contribute to build an even better map.

Samples of two selected places in Denmark and Austria are shown in the figure below.
