Osm.el is a tile-based map viewer, with a responsive movable and zoomable display. The map can be controlled with the keyboard or with the mouse. The viewer fetches the map tiles in parallel from tile servers via the curl program. The package comes with a list of multiple preconfigured tile servers. You can bookmark your favorite locations using regular Emacs bookmarks or create links from Org files to locations. Furthermore the package provides commands to search for locations by name and to open and display GPX tracks.

A place to learn OpenStreetMap

Through the UN Maps Learning Hub, UN Mappers offers a self-training platform accessible to anyone discovering the OpenStreetMap project and wishing to participate in the improvement of this free geographic database as do many thousands of contributors each month.

This platform includes a series of courses to learn the basics of OpenStreetMap, its main editors and how to map its main geographic objects, including those encountered by UN Mappers on the territories of UN Peacekeeping missions covered by the UN Maps initiative.

These courses are independent of each other and can be accessed in any order, but beginners are advised to follow the suggested order. Each course is followed by a test that allows participants to evaluate their knowledge. You can easily get started by clicking on one of the course thumbnails below.

In the future, UN Maps Learning Hub will also offer OSM mappers the opportunity to obtain a certification of their theoretical and practical skills. Obtaining the UN Mappers certificate implies both passing an evaluation test covering all the knowledge transmitted in the courses of this Moodle and fully mapping several UN Mappers project tasks in different contexts. These tasks will be reviewed by UN Mappers team who will provide feedback on improvements or complements to be made if needed.
