Working to support and build OpenStreetMap
All of this work is done through <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a>. OpenStreetMap is the community-driven free and editable map of the world, supported by the not-for-profit OpenStreetMap Foundation. HOT works around the globe to support and increase the use of OpenStreetMap and help build local OpenStreetMap communities.
