Just in time for the 2026 State of the Map Latin America conference that is kicking off tomorrow in Mexico City. If you're there: Say hi to our contributor Bastian, listen to his talk about CoMaps, and grab some stickers! 🇲🇽
The State of the Map Latin America conference is taking place 27-29 October in Mexico City. If you want to help participants to find their way around town, we will do one more map generation on the 25th, so there's still time to add to OpenStreetMap or review POI via Mangrove Reviews/MapComplete.
Our contributor Bastian will be there to give a talk about CoMaps and distribute some of our stickers. If you'd like to meet up, get in touch via our community channels 🙂
Since a few days, we got our first CDN node in Latin America. Provided and run by the amazing Undernet community in Uruguay.
Thanks to them, users in the region will benefit from faster map downloads. For a start, we are exploring how well it works with users based out of Uruguay, Argentina and Venezuela.
If you are interested and able to help your local area in a similar way, get in touch!
