The goal of the weekly mapathons is to enrich the OSM geodata in different areas to assist the UN missions in their field endeavors, such as peace and security, navigation, and logistics, by providing its peacekeepers with topographic maps that will help them in their operational activities.

About us

Unite Maps is a mapping initiative that aims to assist UN peacekeeping missions in their field endeavors, such as peace and security, navigation and logistics, by providing its peacekeepers with topographic maps that will help them in their tactical and operational activities. Unite Maps is providing OSM topographic data as an organised editing activity and we inform, contact and collaborate with all the local communities living and editing in the areas where we map too. More information about the Unite Maps Initiative can be found here.

UN Mappers is a thriving community ranging from UN personnel on the field (GIS groups, UN offices, military and police) to academia (highschools and universities), from local communities and NGOs to any remote volunteer in the world. You can be part of a wonderful community of mappers by contributing to our HOT projects with your local group and friends! More info here.
