http://www.openstreetmap.org/images/osm_logo.png" alt=""/> OpenStreetMap (openstreetmap.org) is a global collaborative mapping project, which offers maps and map data released with an open license, encouraging free re-use and re-distribution. The data is created by a large community of volunteers who use a variety of simple on-the-ground surveying techniques, and wiki-syle editing tools to collaborate as they create the maps, in a process which is open to everyone. The project originated in London, and an active community of mappers and developers are based here. Mapping work in London is ongoing (and you can help!) but the coverage is already good enough for many uses.

Downloads:

The whole of England updated daily:

• england.osm.bz2 ~185M - .osm formatted raw XML data (compressed)
• england.shp.zip ~156M - ESRI shapefiles

For more details of downloads available from OpenStreetMap, including downloading the whole planet, see 'planet.osm' on the wiki.

Data access APIs:

Download small areas of the map by bounding-box. For example this URL requests the data around Trafalgar Square:
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-0.13062,51.5065,-0.12557,51.50969

Data filtered by "tag". For example this URL returns all elements in London tagged shop=supermarket:
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/*[shop=supermarket][bbox=-0.48,51.30,0.21,51.70]

The .osm format

The format of the data is a raw XML represention of all the elements making up the map. OpenStreetMap is composed of interconnected "nodes" and "ways" (and sometimes "relations") each with a set of name=value pairs called "tags". These classify and describe properties of the elements, and ultimately influence how they get drawn on the map. To understand more about tags, and different ways of working with this data format refer to the following pages on the OpenStreetMap wiki.

• .osm - About the raw XML data format of OpenStreetMap
• Downloading data - More details of the API and extract download options
• Xapi - The extended api for filtering by tag
• Map Features - A list of tags, and what map features they represent
• Converting map data between formats - catalogue of tools for converting from .osm to other formats

Simple embedded maps

Rather than working with raw map data, you may prefer to embed maps from OpenStreetMap on your website with a simple bit of javascript. You can also present overlays of other data, in a manner very similar to working with google maps. In fact you can even use the google maps API to do this. See OSM on your own website for details and links to various javascript map libraries.

Help build the map!

The OpenStreetMap project aims to attract large numbers of contributors who all chip in a little bit to help build the map. Although the map editing tools take a little while to learn, they are designed to be as simple as possible, so that everyone can get involved. This project offers an exciting means of allowing local London communities to take ownership of their part of the map.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free, editable map & spatial database of the whole world. This dataset is an extract of OpenStreetMap data for 21 Pacific Island Countries, in a GIS-friendly format. The OSM data has been split into separate layers based on themes (buildings, roads, points of interest, etc), and it comes bundled with a QGIS project and styles, to help you get started with using the data in your maps. This OSM product will be updated weekly and contains data for Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, American Samoa as well as data on the Pacific region. The goal is to increase awareness among Pacific GIS users of the richness of OpenStreetMap data in Pacific countries, as well as the gaps, so that they can take advantage of this free resource, become interested in contributing to OSM, and perhaps join the global OSM community.

This web map presents a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data hosted by Esri. Esri created this vector tile basemap from the Daylight map distribution of OSM data, which is supported by Facebook and supplemented with additional data from Microsoft. It provides a reference layer featuring map labels, boundary lines, and roads and includes imagery. The OSM Daylight map will be updated every month with the latest version of OSM Daylight data. OpenStreetMap is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap site: www.OpenStreetMap.org. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project and is excited to make this enhanced vector basemap available to the ArcGIS user and developer communities.

This feature layer provides access to OpenStreetMap (OSM) buildings data for North America, which is updated every 1 minute with the latest edits. This hosted feature layer view is referencing a hosted feature layer of OSM polygon (closed way) data in ArcGIS Online that is updated with minutely diffs from the OSM planet file. This feature layer view includes building features defined as a query against the hosted feature layer (i.e. building is not blank).In OSM, a building is a man-made structure with a roof, standing more or less permanently in one place. These features are identified with a building tag. There are thousands of different tag values for building used in the OSM database. In this feature layer, unique symbols are used for several of the most popular building types, while lesser used types are grouped in an "other" category.Zoom in to large scales (e.g. Streets level or 1:10k scale) to see the building features display. You can click on a feature to get the name of the building (if available). The name of the building will display by default at large scales (e.g. Buildings level of 1:2.5k scale). Labels can be turned off in your map if you prefer.Create New LayerIf you would like to create a more focused version of this buildings layer displaying just one or two building types, you can do that easily! Just add the layer to a map, copy the layer in the content window, add a filter to the new layer (e.g. building is apartments), rename the layer as appropriate, and save layer. You can also change the layer symbols or popup if you like. Esri may publish a few such layers (e.g. parks) that are ready to use, but not for every type of building.Important Note: if you do create a new layer, it should be provided under the same Terms of Use and include the same Credits as this layer. You can copy and paste the Terms of Use and Credits info below in the new Item page as needed.

Data files for the fast reverse geocoder available at https://github.com/kno10/reversegeocode For source code to generate or use the data, see above URL.

This dataset contains a topologically connected representation of the European high-voltage grid (220 kV to 750 kV) constructed using OpenStreetMap data. Input data was retrieved using the Overpass turbo API (https://overpass-turbo.eu). A heurisitic cleaning process was used to for lines and links where electrical parameters are incomplete, missing, or ambiguous. Close substations within a radius of 500 m are aggregated to single buses, exact locations of underlying substations is preserved. Unique identifiers for lines and links are preserved, e.g. an AC line/cable with the ID way/83742802-1 can be viewed on OpenStreetMap using the query https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/83742802. A DC line/cable with the ID relation/15781671 can be accessed using the query https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/15781671

A detailed explanation on the background, methodology, and validation can be found in the article published in Nature Scientific Data:

Xiong, B., Fioriti, D., Neumann, F., Riepin, I., Brown, T. Modelling the high-voltage grid using open data for Europe and beyond. Sci Data 12, 277 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04550-7

Countries included in the dataset:

Albania (AL), Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA), Bulgaria (BG), Croatia (HR), Czech Republic (CZ), Denmark (DK), Estonia (EE), Finland (FI), France (FR), Germany (DE), Greece (GR), Hungary (HU), Ireland (IE), Italy (IT), Kosovo (XK), Latvia (LV), Lithuania (LT), Luxembourg (LU), Moldova (MD), Montenegro (ME), Netherlands (NL), North Macedonia (MK), Norway (NO), Poland (PL), Portugal (PT), Romania (RO), Serbia (RS), Slovakia (SK), Slovenia (SI), Spain (ES), Sweden (SE), Switzerland (CH), Ukraine (UA), United Kingdom (GB)

The dataset was constructed as part of the workflow within the open-source, sector-coupling model PyPSA-Eur and will be updated continuously as data and/or the cleaning process improves.

PyPSA-Eur is an open model dataset of the European power system at the transmission network level that covers the full ENTSO-E area. It can be built using the code provided at https://github.com/PyPSA/PyPSA-eur.

Not all data dependencies are shipped with the code repository, since git is not suited for handling large changing files. Instead we provide separate data bundles to be downloaded and extracted as noted in the documentation.

While the code and provided dataset in PyPSA-Eur is released as free software under the MIT, different licenses and terms of use apply to the underlying input data.

Changelog from version 0.5 to 0.6:

Added electric parameters to lines (e.g. nominal current, resistance r, reactance x, susceptance b). This allows the dataset to be used outside of PyPSA/PyPSA-Eur.

Interactive map.html now bundled with the dataset.

Tags columns include what the element contains (e.g. merged lines contain lines that were aggregated together).

Changelog from version 0.4 to 0.5:

Exact locations of original substations and converter stations (interior point/Pole of Inaccessibility) are preserved.

Clustering resolution improved from 5000 to 500 meters.

Lines of same electric parameters are merged, if they cross a virtual bus (that is not a real substation).

Information from OSM relations are used, wherever applicable. To avoid doubling, members (ways) of the relation are dropped in the set of lines, accordingly.

There are now unique transformers for each voltage level in each station. Transformers now have a nominal capacity, representing the maximum of line capacities connected to either side/bus of the transformer (n-0, nominal capacity).

Wherever applicable, OSM IDs are preserved and used in the index of the network components.

OpenStreetMap is a free project to build a global geographic database. Adding and correcting data in the database is done collaboratively by voluntary contributors. OpenStreetMap is often presented as « the mapping wikipedia ».

OpenStreetMap's raw data model is oriented to facilitate input by users who are not necessarily geomatics specialists. The geographical objects of this model (nodes, ways, relationships) do not correspond to the objects usually manipulated in the world of professional geomatics. The associated attribute values are also not in the usual form (this is an open system of tags allowing more flexibility in the description of objects).

For this data, the tags concerned are as follows:

historic=boundary_stone

The data file is accompanied by a more complete descriptive sheet.

List of level crossings in metropolitan France and the overseas territories.

They are licensed under the ODbL license which requires sharing in the same way and the mandatory attribution statement must be “© OpenStreetMap contributors under the ODbL license” in accordance with the license detailed on page http://osm.org/copyright.

Use of data In OpenStreetMap grade crossings are marked ‘railway=level_crossing’ and all associated data are documented on the dedicated OpenStreetMap wiki page.

The OpenStreetMap community Openstreetmap is the “Mapping Wikipedia”, a coordinated, self-organised global community creating freely usable data. Openstreetmap is today considered to be the most comprehensive open map database in the world.

The OpenStreetMap community strives to accurately and publicly describe the mapping specifications of all data created in OpenStreetMap wiki. However, no guarantee of quality or completeness is provided. If you identify gaps or data that should be corrected, you are welcome to do so yourself.

In France, the OpenStreetMap France Association supports the community. Openstreetmap relies largely on volunteer work. If this dataset has been helpful to you, you can support the OpenStreetMap France association by donating.

OpenStreetMap Data Exports There are several other ways to download data from the OpenStreetMap database: 1. Search datasets published by OpenStreetMap on data.gouv.fr. The majority of data is updated daily directly from OSM. 2. Use overpass turbo to specify exactly the data to download, worldwide. Formats CSV, GeoJSON, GPX, KML, OSM and more. A more complete but more technical solution. The documentation is available on OpenStreetMap wiki. 3. Use another solution. Many export possibilities exist and are listed on OpenStreetMap wiki page.

Contact If you have any questions regarding OpenStreetMap data exports, you can contact OpenStreetmap France volunteers: exports@openstreetmap.fr — https://www.openstreetmap.fr — Twitter: @OSM_FR — Mastodon: @osm_fr

— Updates — 19/03/2021: first publication of the dataset. The company Mapbox, which is part of the OpenStreetMap community, has carried out in recent days a work to improve the quality of crossings in France in OpenStreetMap. This upgrade is based on data published by SNCF. Details related to this project are public: https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/375

This road network dataset was created from data extracted from OpenStreetMap (OSM) across the geographic area of Australia on 05 August 2020. Its purpose is to represent motor-vehicle traversable public roads within Australia. Note, however, as the original dataset is built by a community of mappers, there is no guarantee of its spatial or attribute accuracy. Use at your own risk. This road network has been topologically corrected for the purposes of network analysis for motor vehicles. For more information about the map features represented in this dataset (including their attributes), refer to the OpenStreetMap Wiki. Please note: The original data for this dataset has been downloaded from Geofabrik on 05 August 2020. AURIN has filtered the original data and omitted features to present the topologically correct, motor-vehicle traversable road network.
