N2 - Nowadays digital maps are a basic tool for decision making. Map making is not an objective process, organizations, institutions and big tech companies reproduce their own interests and biases in the map. Open Street Map (OSM) is a repository containing open geospatial data contributed by millions of people around the globe. With OSM data is possible to create maps that don't reproduce interests of a few, and also, by being open source, it allows auditing on how a decision was made. Although OSM is a free participation platform, it has some socio-technical characteristics that make it difficult for volunteers to participate in geospatial data capture and editing processes. This paper offers a functional prototype developed as free software to counteract these difficulties.
