OpenStreetMap vector data

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable geographic database of the world. The creation of the project was initiated in 2004 by Steve Coast in the United Kingdom. Geographically distributed contributors collect data from surveys, GPS traces, aerial photography, and various other compatible sources. The project is supported and hosted by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a not-for-profit organization registered in the United Kingdom, which maintains the infrastructure but does not own the geographic data itself, as it is open-source and licensed under the Open Database License.
