"This academic title fulfills its promise of an up-to-date university summary of related 'experiences, research, and applications.' It is an edited text by academics specifically focused on the use of OpenStreetMap in the geographical information sciences. ... This text is excellent for an academic research audience. ... it has excellent references and specific thoughts, which together should indeed stimulate further research by the intended audience."
