Lyft’s mission to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation requires investing in the world’s best map. Nothing could be accomplished without first having a reliable groundwork of highways, buildings, and natural features through which to guide drivers and riders. We rely heavily on accurate and up-to-date map data — this is why Lyft Mapping is built on OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Lyft致力于通过世界上最好的交通工具改善人们的生活，这需要投资于世界上最好的地图。没有可靠的公路、建筑物和自然特征作为基础，我们无法为驾驶员和乘客提供准确和最新的地图数据。我们严重依赖准确和最新的地图数据，这就是为什么Lyft Mapping建立在OpenStreetMap（OSM）上的原因。

OSM is a global map database used by millions of people around the world, for tracking agricultural land use, disaster recovery, refugee response, academic research, and much more. After 19 years of growth, OSM is now commonly used by many companies to power applications like logistics platforms, social media, and gaming. OSM is now the biggest crowdsourced repository of human geospatial knowledge — and Lyft is proud to be a contributor since 2020.

OSM是一个全球地图数据库，被全球数百万人用于追踪农业用地、灾难恢复、难民应对、学术研究等等。经过19年的发展，OSM现在被许多公司广泛使用，用于支持物流平台、社交媒体和游戏等应用。OSM现在是最大的众包人类地理空间知识库，Lyft自2020年以来一直是其中的贡献者，我们为此感到自豪。

Why Lyft Chooses OSM

为什么Lyft选择OSM

When we first evaluated OSM, we found that it aligned with Lyft’s goals and needs thanks to three key findings:

当我们首次评估OSM时，我们发现它与Lyft的目标和需求相吻合，这要归功于以下三个关键发现：

High-quality road network

高质量的道路网络

OSM already had a robust core road network across our major markets in North America. This meant that for basic needs like turn-by-turn navigation, the road geometry and connectivity were sufficient to get us started.

OSM在我们在北美的主要市场上已经拥有了一个强大的核心道路网络。这意味着对于转向导航等基本需求，道路几何和连接性已经足够让我们开始使用。

Large and active community

庞大而活跃的社区

With more than 10 million registered users, OSM effectively harnesses the power of crowdsourced mapping. This community-driven approach ensures several benefits:
