The open-source mapping movement is bigger than you might think, burgeoning with underground tenacity and drive that feeds the user-generated machine. Digital map publishers, like Washington, D.C.-based startup MapBox, offer a more customizable alternative to mainstays like Google or Bing Maps that primarily provide its users with professionally curated content and navigation. Not only is MapBox one of the crowd-sourcing pioneers working to build a better breed of map, it’s actually doing it right and making a difference in the open-source mapping space.
The small, 25-person MapBox team has been working out of a garage, building mapping software using a combination of privately-purchased satellite data and open data from NASA, as well as a free user-maintained world map called OpenStreetMap. The collaborative project works in a similar fashion to Wikipedia – it can essentially be edited by anyone free of charge – allowing the software to be altered, updated, and user fact-checked on the fly for greater speed, convenience, and customization.
