In it, they covered what OpenStreetMap is, why we need it, and different ways of how to make use of the data in OSM and how to contribute to it.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of this, they showcased CoMaps as a simple way of accessing OSM data offline, including for navigation, and demonstrated how CoMaps can be used to easily make contributions back to OSM, to help improve maps for everyone.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
