According to the official statistics page, today OpenStreetMap has hit the milestone of 10 million registered users! This is not the first time though; in fact it already happened earlier this year and in 2023 (during which year the amount even excee…

I’ve been editing OSM for about nine months and have been a heavy JOSM armchair editor for about eight months. Recently, I started using a stylus for entering geometry and it’s increased my stamina tremendously. I’ve been able to create hundreds even thousands of nodes per day without feeling any signs of repetitive strain injuries cropping up in my hand.

Someone ask me for “What experience do you have building websites with Open Street Maps using controls limit then monitor and report on tile usage?”
I’m currently exploring OpenStreetMap (OSM) and trying to understand what kind of real-world projects or applications can be built using it.
I’ve checked the documentation, but I’m still not sure how OSM data is typically used in actual applications or what kind of problems it can solve.
Could anyone please share:
Some common or professional use cases of OpenStreetMap
Any example project ideas or scenarios (personal, commercial, or open-source) where OSM is used effectively
Also, if possible, please suggest any recommended tools or libraries (like Leaflet, MapLibre, Nominatim, Overpass API, etc.) that are commonly used to work with OSM data.
Goal: I just want to get a clear idea of where OSM can be applied so I can plan my first project with it.
Thank you!

GO Sync seems to go a long way in comparing GTFS to OSM handily.
It’s still a very labor intensive process, even on a relatively sparse transit system like MetroLink.

RapiD editor has rather unique feature that it can flag pedestrian crossings where node and way are tagged differently.
First post in hopefully a series of entries where Im planning to share various OSM-related experiments I have conducted over the years.

y first day in mapping was sweet and exciting. I felt good to know that even small tasks I did could help improve global maps. It was interesting to discover how roads, buildings, and other features are added, and I enjoyed learning while contributing to something meaningful. That experience motivated me to keep mapping and to grow my skills further.

In 2025 alone I found vandalism incidents specifically targeting map of Indonesian parliament compound twice, in March and now in late August. Thankfully these are all restored.
What made me sad that some Indonesians don’t understand the OpenStreetMap at all, what they only know in their head is political activism. They do by erasing - or editing - the place of institution they despise. Not really sure if these incidents are unique to maps in Indonesia or there’s international example of politically motivated vandalism of OSM maps?

Styles for vector tiles are typically written in the MapLibre GL style language. These definitions exist in JSON, which, for various reasons, is not a good language for humans to write in.
