The 4th, 5th and 6th of September we are hosting the first State of the Map LatAm conference in Santiago, Chile.

Building on the global State of the Map conference in Buenos Aires last year, we are gathering the Latin American and global mappers, to share community and entrepreneurial knowledge, techniques and experiences in OpenStreetMap.

For more details about Santiago, travelling to the city, the transportation system, accommodations and other tips, check out the city guide in the OpenStreetMap wiki.

The event will take place on the days before the AbreLatam (September 7-8) and ConDatos (September 9-10), two of the biggest Open Data conferences in Latin America.

    WalkYourPlace - a tool for evaluation of walkability with OpenStreetMap data

    WalkYourPlace - a web service for urban accessibility evaluation. Higher demand for housing is often attributed to the more centrally located places of cities. This central location often transforms in better accessibility to shops, restaurants, parks, and work places. Inspired by walkscore.com we developed a will present a tool for urban accessibility evaluation that is based on free and open software and uses data from OpenStreetMap. The service was implemented by utilizing the Web Processing Service standard of the OGC (OGC WPS). OpenTripPlanner is used as routing engine to calculate accessibility of a location for different modes: walking, biking and transit. The presentation will discuss the flexible architecture of the system and explain how walkability, biking and transit accessibility scores are calculated. We also show a web client, implemented for the city of Calgary, Canada, which permits everyone the calculation of accessibility scores.

    Help to create the best map of the world

    The Mapbox data team have been actively improving OpenStreetMap, fixing errors detected by the OpenStreetMap Inspector, keepright.at and Tile-reduce, aligning highways according to new US government data, mapping buildings in San Francisco and importing buildings in New York City, helping with mapping initiatives like when the earthquake shocked Nepal and our goal of giving to the city of Ayacucho/Perú the best OpenStreetMap map in Latin America. During this presentation I will talk about our way of working to map, how we prioritize the works, how we receive and apply our customer's feedback to improve the map, how we interact with the community, how we work with our tools to repair errors in OpenStreetMap.

    Automatically analizing all the editions made to a country

    OSM Changeset Analyser, or osmcha, is a python software in development process. The proposal of the software is to automatically verify all the editions made in a country to identify suspicious changesets, like non-authorized imports and vandalism. This way, we expect to achieve a greater level of control over what is being changed in a whole region and ensure the quality of the OpenStreetMap data. During the talk I will show what osmcha is already capable of doing and we will be able to discuss the changesets evaluation criteria. The project Github site: https://github.com/willemarcel/osmcha

The Quick Version

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organisers.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.


Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.


If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.


If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified as they'll be wearing branded t-shirts.
