1. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world by volunteers who collect and contribute mapping data. 2. The OpenStreetMap community works together for fun rather than profit, focusing on collaboration over individual goals. 3. Unlike commercial maps, OpenStreetMap data is open and editable by anyone, allowing for greater accuracy but also introducing challenges of data quality.
