Open Data is growing at an alarming rate and we shall put all that data in OpenStreetMap.

• Searchers - we scour open data portals and sites for authorative data like buildings, public amenities, and addresses.
• Communicators - we contact stakeholders and local mappers to help generate interest in the community mapping process
• Workers - we use best practices and repeatable processes to import quality data properly and quickly
• Go-the-extra-milers - we fill in the gaps in current data, and look for ways to improve its usability

Paid Mappers started last year on a simple premise, if you demonstrate your passion for something, and do great work, someone's bound to pay you to do it for a living. The map to the right shows the regional concentration of edits for the last year, and while our team was not paid to do any of these edits, we remain confident our guiding premise will lead us to great things in the future.

Edits in BLUE indicate a new feature added to OpenStreetMap. Edits in ORANGE indicate an edit to an existing OpenStreetMap feature.
