We connect the community, organizations, authorities, companies, and everyone interested in OpenStreetMap. Together, we improve geodata and make it accessible to everyone.
Our Goal: To promote and enhance free geodata – together with you!
Our Offering: We provide support for using OpenStreetMap, participating in the project, and answering questions about geodata.
Our Role: As a bridge between the community and external partners, we foster dialogue and actively work on improving geodata quality.
Here is an example map showcasing what can be done with OpenStreetMap:
You can report an issue directly on openstreetmap.org, or you can inform us at info@openstreetmap.at. We will get back to you as soon as our volunteer schedule allows – all our work is voluntary.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open, global database where geodata is collected by volunteers and made freely available. These data are the foundation for maps, navigation systems, and much more worldwide. Everyone can contribute – whether by adding a path, a park, or mapping entire neighborhoods in detail.

OpenStreetMap Austria was founded in 2011 to organize the first “State of the Map” conference in Austria. Since then, we have built a rich history.
In 2023, following a community vote, we became the official Local Chapter for Austria.
OpenStreetMap Austria (OSM-AT) actively promotes OpenStreetMap activities in Austria. We assist in using OSM data, mediate between the community and external partners, and work to improve and expand geodata quality.
Our association acts as a voluntary point of contact for inquiries, clarifications, support, or mediation regarding OpenStreetMap.
We participate in various events, such as the Salzburg Maker Faire and the Graz Linux Days, to raise awareness about OpenStreetMap and strengthen the community. In the past, we were also present at the AGIT (formerly GI_Salzburg) and the Maker Faire Vienna, which unfortunately no longer take place.
OpenStreetMap Austria (OSM-AT) does not control the OpenStreetMap database and does not provide its own map material. We are also not responsible for the content of the database or the map.
The OpenStreetMap project is operated by a British NGO, the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which holds data sovereignty.
This year again, there is the [‘netidee’ funding pot] (https://www.netidee.at/), in which some of the projects submitted are sponsored with up to €50,000. Submissions are still possible until 17 July 2018. There are bound to be some OpenStreetMap or FOSSGIS projects that would fit in there.
The requirements for submitting a project are that all results are and remain open source or are published under a Creative Commons licence.
