Unite Maps is a mapping initiative that aims to assist UN peacekeeping missions in their field endeavors, such as peace and security, navigation and logistics, by providing its peacekeepers with topographic maps that will help them in their tactical and operational activities.
Unite Maps crowdsources topographic data on OSM with a thriving community of mappers, the UN Mappers, ranging from UN personnel on the field (GIS groups, UN offices, military and police) to academia (high schools and universities), from local communities and NGOs to any remote volunteer in the world.
