-====== OpenStreetMap ======
-OpenStreetMap is like Wikipedia for maps.  It's built by the community using aerial imagery, GSP devices, or existing public domain maps.  The maps can be viewed or edited online in a browser, or using various apps.
-===== Some links =====
-  * Viewing the Maps: [[https://osm.org |osm.org]] or [[https://openstreetmap.org | openstreetmap.org]]
-  * App for Android, iPhone, Linux: [[https://organicmaps.app]]
-  * Editing Info: [[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org]]
-===== Up-To-Date =====
-One advantage of OpenStreetMap (on the right) is that it can get updated more quickly than Google Maps (on the left).  For example, here's a new street that I added in Gibsons over a month ago:

-</WRAP>
-===== More Trails =====
-There are also a lot more trails in OpenstreetMap than google Maps.  Here's the golf course and Cliff Gilker park in Roberts Creek:

-</WRAP>
-===== Different Layers =====
-OpenStreetMap also has different layers, which highlight different information.  For example, the CycleOSM and Cycle Map add topographical information, and Public GPS traces uploaded by the community can be added to any layer.
