About this task

About this opportunity

Missing Maps is a collaborative project of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders/MSF, and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Volunteers map places that aren't yet on any map, so responders on the ground have accurate maps to work with.

What to expect

  • Sign up for a free OpenStreetMap account and watch the short training videos
  • "Check out" a square of satellite imagery and trace the buildings and roads you see
  • Work at your own pace, for as long or short a session as you like
