=Introduction=
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. The creation and growth of OSM has been motivated by restrictions on use or availability of map information across much of the world, and the advent of inexpensive portablesatellite navigation devices.<br>
OSM is considered a prominent example of volunteered geographic information.
==Educational application and relevance==
==Educational application and relevance==
OpenStreetMap is being used in schools, universities and colleges in a wide range of disciplines. OSM is relevant to education in geography, mathematics, ecology, community planning, government and information technology (IT). Some educators use existing OpenStreetMap data in class projects, while others contribute new data to OpenStreetMap. In the process of using OpenStreetMap and contributing data, students also develop IT skills (needed to process data) and gain valuable knowledge in the fields of GIS (geographic information systems), planning and community development.

==Overview of Features==
Map data is collected from scratch by volunteers performing systematic ground surveys using tools such as a handheld GPS unit, a notebook, digital camera, or a voice recorder. The data is then entered into the OpenStreetMap database.<br>
The availability of aerial photography and other data from commercial and government sources has added important sources of data for manual editing and automated imports. Special processes are in place to handle automated imports and avoid legal and technical problems.

OsmAnd <br>
OsmAnd is free software for Android and iOS mobile devices that can use offline vector data from OSM. It also supports layering OSM vector data with prerendered raster map tiles from OpenStreetMap and other sources
