Name Wikimapia
Note WikiMapia is an open-content collaborative mapping project, aimed at marking all geographical objects in the world and providing a useful description of them. It combines an interactive web map with a wiki system. The goal of Wikimapia is to create and maintain a free, complete, multilingual and up-to-date map of the whole world by compiling as much useful information about all geographical objects as possible whilst enabling free access to our data for public domain. Wikimapia intends to contain detailed information about every place on Earth.
