OpenStreetMap Data Discovery

Have you ever struggled to find data for a GIS project? We will be exploring OpenStreetMap (OSM), a community-contributed, open map of the world, as a possible data source. It is a good and often underutilized source for spatial data.  In this workshop, participants will learn how to download data from OpenStreetMap and import it into GIS software.  We will discuss data validity and ways to contribute to improving the OSM map.
