 ap is a community-owned map of the world made by people like you\, which a
 nybody can use\, share\, and edit.\n\nIt is used and improved by numerous 
 websites\, organizations\, and companies (e.g. Wikipedia\, Ola Maps\, Stra
 va\, Swiggy\, redBus\, Doctors Without Borders\, Pokemon Go/Niantic\, Zoma
 to\, Uber\, and Amazon). It also powers privacy-respecting [free software]
 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software) like Organic Maps and OsmAnd
 .\n\nContributing to OpenStreetMap is fun!  \n * You get to explore the wo
 rld\, find interesting places\, and document them for yourself and others.
   \n * You improve a community resource which helps everyone and is not co
 ntrolled by any one company.  \n * It's very satisfying to see your change
 s appear on the map!  \n\nYou can learn more about OSM on these pages -  \
