Open is a search and navigation app built with open software and open data.
Open (by Mapzen) is a search and navigation app built with open source software and open data.
Made with OSM, made for OSM. Users log into the app using an OpenStreetMap account. They can optionally contribute GPS traces back to OpenStreetMap when in navigation mode.
Really, really open. The app is built with the open source projects OpenScienceMap, Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM), Pelias, and open source SDKs built by Mapzen.
It’s a map, what do you think it does. Search. Maps. Routes for biking, walking, and driving.
Open source, open data, open to improvements. We built Open as a proof of concept to understand the current state of open data and open software for mapping and navigation. The app and the data will only get better--but only with your contributions.
