About

ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) platform that enables users to create, use, and share geographic information within their organization, with the community, and on the web.

OpenStreetMap is a free, editable world map project that provides open geographic data created and maintained by a global community of contributors.

Its data includes roads, buildings, points of interest, and transport networks, supports detailed tagging, enables full data export and custom map rendering, and is released under the Open Database License, which allows copying, modification, and commercial use with attribution and the requirement to keep derived data open.
