The OpenStreetMap project is to build the most complete, exhaustive and up-to-date global database of free geographical data

Walid: Today, dear listeners, we’re going to talk about a topic that we very quickly addressed in episode 14 of season 2, with Manon Corneille, we were talking about Open Food Fact and we talked about OpenStreetMap.
