About us

We are a passionate group of individuals who share a deep love for maps and are committed to keeping geospatial data open and accessible. Our involvement with OpenStreetMap (OSM) in India began in earnest in 2007. Over the past 13 years, the OSM Kerala Community has played a pivotal role in promoting and enhancing OSM data in the region.

Our Contributions

• During the devastating floods of 2018, OpenStreetMap was extensively used to provide critical geospatial information for disaster response efforts.
