MapRVA is a group of mapping enthusiasts based in Richmond, VA. We meet in-person every couple of weeks, and discuss potential and ongoing geospatial projects. The venues for our meetings alternate between local breweries and libraries, for more social- and work-focused meetings, respectively.
OpenStreetMap
Our work is generally focused on improving OpenStreetMap (OSM), a free database of geospatial information editable by anyone in the world. By contributing data to OSM, we enable anyone to create high-quality routing or cartographic products of our city.

MapRVA proudly affiliates with OpenStreetMap US, a nonprofit that helps support and grow OpenStreetMap in the United States.
Editing Guidelines
As a part of our OSM work in Richmond, we maintain local editing guidelines for our city.
