OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap data
Our maps and services are powered by OpenStreetMap data - built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world.
OpenStreetMap is open data, licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF).
We regularly (typically weekly) update the maps with fresh modifications from OpenStreetMap.
Our vector tiles are using OpenMapTiles open-source project and schema.
Our maps must always visibly show attribution:
