The Book

This is the website for the German language book "OpenStreetMap: Die freie Weltkarte nutzen und mitgestalten". Some of the content on this site is only available in German. There is no English language version of the book yet.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the whole world which can be used and improved by anyone. Using an open community process, thousands of people from around the world collect geodata in a central database.

The book gives a comprehensive overview about the community, the data model, and the software. It will put you in a position to use this growing collection of geodata for your own projects.

The book also explains in detail how the geodata is collected and edited for OpenStreetMap. If you want to help improve the map, this book is the ideal starting place.
