OpenStreetMap Summary

OpenStreetMap: Using and Enhancing the Free Map of the World by Frederick Ramm

This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a map of the whole world which can be used and edited freely by everyone. In a Wikipedia-like open community process, thousands of contributors world-wide survey the planet and upload their results to the OpenStreetMap database.

This book

  • Introduces you to the OpenStreetMap community, the data model, and the software used in the project.
  • Enables you to use the constantly growing OSM data set and maps in your own projects.
  • Explains in detail how you can help collecting and processing data for OpenStreetMap.

If you want to become an OSM Mapper then this book is the ideal starting point.

OpenStreetMap Reviews

The book is very well written and nicely typeset. ... It is obvious that the authors have a lot of knowledge and experience ... This book has proven to be a very good OSM introduction. Getting up to speed with OpenStreetMap is much easier if you have read this book. This book is a must-have for OSM newcomers. The basics are presented well and are easy to understand, and you do not need to be an IT specialist to contribute your first data to OSM after a short time.
