Welcome to the Virtual MapGive Course. MapGive is a U.S. Department of State initiative that encourages increased participation in the global mapping community to facilitate the creation of open geographic data to support humanitarian relief and development programs. We are going to start off our first activity by thinking about maps. Many advanced users use the Java OpenStreetMap Editor (JOSM) editor for improved editing efficiency or specialized ways to map.
