Real-world map data is helping make better games about farms and transportation

Summary

79% Informative

City Bus Manager uses OpenStreetMap ( OSM ) data to populate its maps, so I can see all the familiar streets and points of interest laid out in front of me.

The game is part of a small group of games using OSM ’s community-generated database to make the world their game setting.

Other examples include Global Farmer , NIMBY Rails, and Logistical : Earth.

OpenStreetMap is a volunteer-run program that allows players to correct the data at the source.

Global Farmer developers found that OSM has a lot more information about roads than field systems.

OSM data is not a perfect recreation of the world, and even if it was, that isn't always what games need.
