ai generated text

OpenStreetMap is a free, open geographic database created and maintained by a community of volunteers, which collects data from various sources and is used to make electronic maps, inform navigation, and assist in humanitarian aid. The project was founded in 2004 by Steve Coast in response to the Ordnance Survey's failure to release its data under free licenses, and has since grown to become a widely used and supported platform. The database is hosted by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a non-profit organization, and is funded mostly through donations, with a community of over 9,000 registered users contributing to its growth and development.learn more on wikipedia
