Welcome OSM Merge

Announcing the latest OSM US Community Project: OSM Merge!

Project creator, wildland firefighter, and emergency response mapper Rob Savoye knows first-hand that OSM is a critical resource for emergency responders operating in remote rural and wilderness areas. The goal of OSM Merge: to use data from official government sources to improve the quality of road and trail information in OSM.
