Technology giants Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and OpenStreetMap have teamed up with Dickinson College and Bloomberg Philanthropies to create a new online tool that will help cities map out their response to the coronavirus pandemic. The tool, which is based on open-source software developed by OpenStreetMap, will allow city officials to track the spread of the virus and plan their response accordingly. microsoft apple amazon openstreetmapdickinsonbloomberg
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. The project was started in 2004 by two British university students and now has over three million registered users, who can contribute data to the map.
The maps are created using data from a variety of sources, including GPS devices, aerial photography, and government surveys. The data is then uploaded to the OpenStreetMap server, where it can be edited by anyone who wishes to do so.
