[Ross Johnson]

Numbers of volunteer cartographers worldwide in OpenStreetMap has reached 240,000. They are trying to create a digital map of 
every street in every city and village on the planet. It is a kind of grass-roots Wikipedia for maps that is transforming how map data 
are collected, shared and used — from the desktop to smart phones to car navigation, according to an article published in 
Los Angeles Times.
