•The map data in the system so far has mostly been built from scratch, through a collaborative mapping process. This normally begins with users uploading data onto OSM from their handheld GPS units or by using GPS Navigation software.

•Google maps is a competitor to OpenStreetMap.•It has no advantages over its competitors.The weaknesses of OpenStreetMap is that it takes too long to load

•It is very easy to contribute to the project. Yes the project does tell me how to take part in it. Yes the project seems welcoming to a newcomer.I think the project is very good but it is just a copy of Google maps. If i was a member of the project i would improve it by showing a satellite version of the map and speeding up the loading time and the website.
