Mobile OSM

OpenStreetMap data can be used on mobile devices, thanks to tools such as Mkgmap (shown: map of Hammersmith)

Another OSM map on garmin

Taplow

A small area centered on Taplow in South Buckinghamshire

A larger-scale view of Taplow in South Buckinghamshire

The Taplow maps were produced by a slightly modified version of Osmarender. The only manual tweaks were to make the road names readable on a couple of very short roads. Area data is partly from Landsat and partly from local knowledge.

Would it be possible to frame the map to create a bolder, stronger image (highlighting a focal point or significant features)? Ojw 22:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

That german place again

The third most dense map tile, after Weybridge and Enfield, is Karlsruhe. Image was rendered by different people using their home computers in a distributed rendering project.

London

The London mapping party will try to use aerial photography to create a map of London, rather than the traditional GPS

Baghdad

While most of us can't reach Baghdad with our GPS units, Yahoo! have provided aerial photos of it (and other cities around the world) to create maps from.

Cambridge

Thanks to the efforts of David Earl and others, the city of Cambridge (UK) is now completely mapped. Posters to follow...

Osmarender

Osmarender 4 will add support for bridges and tunnels - see Key:bridge for how to tag them

London

Yahoo! have allowed us to use their aerial photos in an applet, and trace Free-as-in-ShareAlike maps from them

London, as seen after about 40 people mapped the place in a weekend

Shhh, cartographers at work...

Curvy maps

Farsi script

OpenStreetMap is an international project, and street names can be accepted in multiple languages. This map is of the area surrounding Sharif University of Technology in Tehran – the Iran/Tagging rules page shows how to edit maps in this area. There are a few rendering problems here (mostly about labels), and I think this could be beautified quite a bit. I'm working on that. Roozbeh 09:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

North London

North London, as seen on the new Slippy map..

The area has been updated quite a lot since this set of slippy map tiles were created. Looks even more complete nowadays. Welshie 16:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite a bit of wooded areas and footpaths added and considerably more roads infilled in Enfield. Would really benefit from being one zoom level in too. Steve8 23:58, 1 Jan 2007

North London, as seen on the Slippy map's tiles@home layer..

Is the coverage any better on the tiles@home layer?

Reading

The Reading mapping party added approximately (todo: calculate estimate) km of roads which are available for free download via the API
