Public-transport directions that tell you which carriage to stand in
openstreetmap.org
A map of the world anyone can correct, and everyone else can reuse.
The map data behind a large share of the apps you use, editable in the browser by anyone with an account, with cycling, transport and humanitarian renderings alongside the standard one. It is frequently better than commercial maps for footpaths, building entrances and anywhere a mapping company has not sent a car. Routing comes from third-party engines plugged into the site rather than from OSM itself.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. It is a map and an editor, not a navigation app — there is no live traffic and no turn-by-turn guidance on the site itself.
Yes. OpenStreetMap sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
