Although the quality of datasets derived from OSM varies, the data source and wider OSM ecosystems have many advantages: they provide datasets that are available globally, free of charge, and constantly improving thanks to an army of volunteers. Using OSM encourages 'citizen science' and contributions back to the digital commons (you can start editing data representing a part of the world you know well at [www.openstreetmap.org](https://www.openstreetmap.org)). Further examples of OSM data in action are provided in Chapters \@ref(gis), \@ref(transport) and \@ref(location).
