OpenStreetMap is a hidden gem – a free, open-source alternative to Google Maps – and it’s just got a little more sparkle. It’s added the option to get A-to-B directions straight from its homepage.
Lots of third-party apps and services have powered their directions using OpenStreetMap data for some time but now the main site supports them too. You can get directions for travel by bicycle, car or on foot.
OpenStreetMap is hoping more people will visit its site to take advantage of the feature and offer up edits and improvements to its maps while they’re there. We hope so too!
