Wikimedia Maps
The Wikimedia Map service is the primary provider of open maps for Wikimedia Projects. The service consists of a zoomable street level map of the world generated using data from the OpenStreetMap Project.

OpenStreetMap
The OpenStreetMap Project is the largest source of crowdsourced geographical data. It takes a few minutes to sign up and improve the map of your home neighborhood using the online map editor called iD via the [edit button]. One can add or improve any type of map feature like roads, buildings, trees and even trash cans.

OSM Data structure
Every map feature is defined as shape (points, lines, areas) and some metadata (`key`=`value` pairs) called tags.
