This is not the first time we talk about Tagzania’s commitment with OpenStreetMap. The project is well-known internationally and the community is really strong in most European countries. But our local reality is not so wonderful, OSM is only supported by few dozens of users and there’s a lot to do on the map (even though we’ve got some great places).

EuskalMapa is our latest project to support OSM in the Basque Country. It has a double goal: spreading the word about OSM and giving to our native language, the Basque, its own presence on the map (using the name:eu tag). OpenStreetMap gives to our language the chance of having its own map, like OSM Alba has done with the Scottish Gaelic.

We’re working on this Basque map, meanwhile EuskalMapa is posting about OSM news, tutorials about how to edit the map or giving information about the mapping parties we’re organizing.
