Hi, I’m Midgard. I’m from Belgium, so I’m mostly mapping there.

Sometimes I help out with the Belgian building and address import.

Freelance mapping and consulting

For a reasonable fee, you can rely on my extensive experience of over 11 years in almost all aspects of OpenStreetMap! I’m available for mapping, creating tagging schemes, exporting and curating data, and more. Creating a map image with custom cartography is also possible, based on OSM data and any other data sources you want to bring.

Get in touch via OSM PM. I can create an invoice for you.

Paid-for editing is done with the account M!dgard commissioned.
