OpenStreetMapista

OpenStreetMapista is a Finnish-language wiki dedicated to documenting and explaining the principles, history, and practical usage of OpenStreetMap (OSM). OpenStreetMap itself is a collaborative project to create a free, editable map of the world. The OpenStreetMapista wiki serves as a community-driven resource for Finnish speakers interested in contributing to or utilizing this open-source geospatial data.

The wiki contains articles covering a wide range of topics related to OpenStreetMap. This includes introductions to what OpenStreetMap is, how to get started with mapping, details on specific map features and their tagging conventions, guides on using various editing tools, and information on the software and data behind the project. It also often features articles about the practical applications of OpenStreetMap data within Finland, such as its use in navigation, local studies, or by emergency services.

The content is typically created and maintained by volunteers from the Finnish OpenStreetMap community. They aim to provide clear, accurate, and up-to-date information to both newcomers and experienced mappers. The wiki serves as a central point for knowledge sharing and community building within the Finnish OpenStreetMap ecosystem, ensuring that the project's principles and tools are accessible to a wider audience. It complements the global OpenStreetMap Wiki by providing localized context and language support.
