MY OPEN MAP JOURNEY

Posted by Opie Eke Ogburu on 5 April 2025 in English.

On the 28 of March, I just discovered that our Village is not well represented in the wikipedia map, as well as the article about our community on wikipedia is not comprehensive, as i was researching further about my local community online.

That was the beginning of my journey on openstreetmap, as I’ve decided to become a contributor to help improve the visibility of our community on the world map.

Though I’m starting as a novice as at today been the 4th of April, 2025, I’m determined to walk myself through the process of learning how to edit on open street map. As I’ve started on a self learning steps, I look forward to maybe joining a community of mappers, finding someone as a guide and becoming a full member of openstreetmap community.
