Introduction to using and improving OpenStreetMap

We recommend bringing a laptop, a mouse, and a smartphone for this session.

Participants will learn in brief about -

1. what OpenStreetMap is and why it is important

2. Organic Maps, OsmAnd, and osmapp.org - freedom-respecting apps which use OpenStreetMap data and provide replacements for apps like Google Maps;

3. StreetComplete, a gamified and freedom-respecting OpenStreetMap editor.

Finally, participants will learn to use iD, the browser-based OpenStreetMap editor, to make basic edits from their laptops.
