OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform where contributors create and maintain a global, openly licensed geographic dataset. The openstreetmap-website project is the Ruby on Rails application that powers the main website and core editing and data APIs.

Key Features

  • User accounts and profiles for contributors
  • XML and JSON editing API for creating and updating map data
  • Web “Browse” interface to explore nodes, ways, relations, and history
  • GPX track upload, browsing, and related APIs
  • Community features such as diary entries and user-to-user messaging

Use Cases

  • Hosting an OpenStreetMap-style editing stack for a community, organization, or region
  • Building applications that read and write map data via a standards-based web API
  • Managing and reviewing GPS trace uploads to support mapping workflows

Limitations and Considerations

  • A complete production deployment typically relies on additional components (for example, tile rendering and geocoding) that are not included in this repository

OpenStreetMap combines community-driven data creation with programmatic access through robust APIs. It is suitable for organizations that need full control over an OSM-compatible website and editing API, and for developers building geospatial applications on open data.
