OpenStreetMap is the Wikipedia of geographic information - a crowdsourced, world-wide map coverage that competes with google maps and similar products. In this popUp you'll get an introduction to OSM, learn how map tiles work, how to edit/contribute to the OSM project, and how to use Leaflet to deploy OSM maps in web applications.
