OpenStreetMap Edits – 20 million and counting!

February 4, 2014 By Editor

Some of the latest stats from the OSM gang reveal 20 million edits to the popular OSM basemap and counting…

 

This update on the state of OSM comes via the OSM blog…

In January 2014, OpenStreetMap saw its 20 millionth edit.

User:cosmicpop registered to edit OpenStreetMap just recently, and made a little fix to the map of his local neighbourhood. These things happen thousands of times every day, and with enough people mapping in their local area, we’re building a free and open map of the world!

But this time was special. This was the 20 millionth edit saved to OpenStreetMap. To celebrate, we decided to get in touch, and present this contributor with a prize. Here is cosmicpop with his new OpenStreetMap hi-vis jacket!
