OpenStreetMap (OSM), a free geographic database, celebrated its 20th anniversary in August 2024.

The database, maintained by a community of volunteers, has grown significantly over the past two decades and plays a significant role in the changing geospatial data landscape.

Major providers such as Apple, Facebook, Foursquare, Snapchat, Instagram, Flickr, Craigslist, and Grab use OSM data in their location-related services.
