OpenStreetMap – Community-Driven Map
History: Created in 2004 as an open-source alternative to proprietary mapping services, OpenStreetMap (OSM) relies on volunteer contributors to build and maintain global map data .
Functionality: Provides free, editable maps for navigation, GIS applications, and humanitarian efforts. Users can add or modify data (e.g., roads, landmarks).
Future Plans: Enhance data accuracy in underserved regions, improve real-time updating tools, and expand partnerships with organisations like the Humanitarian OSM Team. (Note: Not directly covered in search results; based on general knowledge.)
