OpenStreetMap is a free project that collects and structures freely usable geodata, maintains it as open data and provides online maps.

---

The City of Munich uses OpenStreetMap as a map source for areas outside the city limits in its Geoportal. But other applications such as Kitafinder or muenchen-mitdenken.de also use OpenStreetMap.

The LHM provides official aerial photographs with a high-quality resolution of 20 cm for the creation of maps available to OpenStreetMap for map creation. We also encourage all employees to contribute relevant city data to Openstreetmap. For example, the Münchner Stadtbibliothek account independently ensures that all district branches and their opening hours are correct.
