Is OpenStreetMap georeferenced?


I need to implement a GIS using an exported map from OpenStreetMap. Is it georeferenced? In that case, is the precision enough to show GPS tracked devices over it without any additional georeferencing work?


Solution

  • Yes, of course it is. OSM is used in tons of web services, routers, mobile devices, desktop software and so on. A non-georeferenced map is pretty worthless, not only since recently.
