Current Projects

Our project to community-source street data in Georgia's Shida Kartli region has come to a successful end, but there's still many more avenues ahead. We continue to develop mapping communities and build open street data in Georgia. Visit blog
Mapping the Kibera slums outside Nairobi is definitely exciting and important work, and the local mappers did some really cool work. Check out mapkibera.org, the map, and photos from the project!.
