Our UN Maps Community Ambassador, Silvina Meritano, is conducting an open mapping workshop in Venado Tuerto, Argentina from today 28 May to 30 May, Saturday. The workshop will focus on mapping in #OpenStreetMap for flood prevention and preparedness. With more than 80 people registered, this event will contribute to disaster mitigation strategies not only in the city but in the region.

UN Mappers Kenya — Nairobi Drainage Map and Clean 🇰🇪
In April 2026, #UNMappers Kenya partnered with the the Young Lawyers Voice on Climate Change Foundation YLVOCCF to collect structured, geolocated drainage data on the ground in one of the areas most affected by flooding in Nairobi.

Day 18/100: OpenStreetMap nodes as interactive bubbles 🫧
Visualized #OSM point data as bubbles: parks, amenities, buildings, landmarks. Size reflects importance/area, color shows category.
Interaction key: click reveals metadata (tags, names, hours, accessibility), pan/zoom explores regions.
#OpenStreetMap isn't just geometry. Each node carries community knowledge. This visualization surfaces that richness. 🌍
