OpenStreetMap US

Imagery is mapping’s lifeblood, yet we’re often stuck with stale pixels! Explore how OpenAerialMap’s STAC migration is unleashing fresh, high-resolution, local imagery data from drones to satellites. We challenge imagery providers to open up for OSM, and invite every drone enthusiast to contribute. It’s time for the OSM community to invest in our pixel future!
