OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap provides map data for thousands of web sites, mobile apps, and hardware devices. OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. OpenStreetMap emphasizes local knowledge. Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is accurate and up to date. OpenStreetMap's community is diverse, passionate, and growing every day. Our contributors include enthusiast mappers, GIS professionals, engineers running the OSM servers, humanitarians mapping disaster-affected areas, and many more. To learn more about the community, see the OpenStreetMap Blog, user diaries, community blogs, and the OSM Foundation website. OpenStreetMap is open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors.

Make Your Observability Stack Effortless

For Software Engineers, DevOps, Data Architects, and IT Leaders

The progression to modern application stacks and microservices architectures has resulted in orders of magnitude more logs, metrics, events, and traces. Like gravity, data attracts more data, making it increasingly difficult to move and process as it accumulates over time. More than ever, there is a need to be able to stream-process, filter, mask, transform, aggregate, analyze, and route that data to various data tier destinations optimized for specific usage.

    "Only Microsoft could screw up a simple map program"

    Posted 2023-01-31

    Pros: Since you screwed up its effectiveness, very little. Too many of your stupid little icons to be really useful.

    Cons: If you attempt to use Bing maps to find a particular address, you may very well wind up with something on the map that isn't even remotely associated with the address you're looking for. Instead of showing you the street address you put in to search for, you are shown the name of a business that resides there but isn't the one you're looking for. This is especially true if you attempt to find a particular doctor's office. Totally loses its usefulness and it's only because they suckered somebody into paying to put their company name on a listing where multiple offices reside.

    Overall: This COULD be a useful tool if it wasn't for the greed of Microsoft. Money over service every time.

    "Decent Mapping Platform"

    Posted 2022-03-27

    Pros: Bing Maps has a great acceptance rate of correcting information and it's easy to get location verified and published on their mapping platform for our clients.

    Cons: Their design and features are very expired and need to be updated. Not user-friendly.

    Overall: Overall, Bing is a good database and resource when trying to find locations online. The mapping imagery is also decent.
