Cartagena Guide: Cartagena on OpenStreetmap.org

Magazine OpenStreetMap.org is a free editable map made by volunteers around the world. Similar like Wikipedia the content is edited by thousands of users as a collective work. While commercial maps like googlemaps will take a long time to cover cities like Cartagena, OpenStreetMap's Cartagena map shows impressive progress: It's useble already, as you can see on our CaribeNet's Cartagena Map, which is feeded by OpenStreetmap.org.



Anyhow OpenStreetmap.org is work in progress: You are invited to be part of this work. If you know Cartagena you can register on the project site and help out with your knowledge: Editing street names, one-way-directions, squares, landmarks etc. If you are visiting Cartagena and carrying a GPS you might even upload coordinates, routes, tracks: Take your GPS with while discovering Cartagena to collect geodata information for further visitors. More information and detailed tutorials you can find on www.openstreetmap.org.

OpenStreetmap hosts dynamic information that might be used on handheld devices, embedded in webpages (as above) or third-party applications. Output even might be generated as PDF file to provide customized printable maps. CaribeNet's Cartagena map is based on OpenStreetmap.org information while we added a Hotel- and Restaurant navigator.
