About CloudMade
CloudMade make maps differently. CloudMade provides developers with access to a range of innovative tools and APIs that allow you to make the most of map data. We source our map data from OpenStreetMap, the community mapping project which is making a free map of the world. CloudMade's mission is to make using OpenStreetMap data easier and more accessible. We support OpenStreetMap by sponsoring mapping parties, providing public relations and legal support, hosting developer events and contributing to the OSM code base. We want OpenStreetMap to have the best geo data in the world and we think the best way to achieve this is to support OSM and the OpenStreetMap Foundation as independent organisations.
