Wikimapia is an online editable map where you can describe any place on Earth. Or just browsing on the map and discovering a large number of marked places.

Wikimapia is a multilingual open content collaborative map designed to 'describe the surface of the Earth'. The platform was initiated by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev, inspired by Google Maps and Wikipedia. The data of Wikimapia is completely produced by Internet volunteers who volunteered to contribute to the project. On Wikimapia, users can tag locations, add descriptions with proof links, provide appropriate categories, and upload photos to the map, making it easy for people to share information about the world with friends or publicly. While making contributions, users can gain experience and access more advanced tools, such as linear features for marking roads, rivers, railways, and ferry routes. In addition, the Wikimapia team is responsible for maintaining the website and developing new tools and features for it. Users can share Wikimapia data on blogs, websites, and social networks.
