OpenStreetMap
The map data behind our location-based products
What it is
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free, editable, community-maintained map of the world, widely used as an alternative to proprietary map data providers.
Why it matters
It avoids per-request licensing costs common with commercial map APIs at scale, and its open data can be self-hosted and customized for specialized location-based products.
Where we use it
