OpenStreetMap
For me personally, the pleasure of mapping is not only in the process itself, i.e. arises during mapping, but a substantial part of it comes from the thought of being able to help other people. Let us all make the world a better and happier place through mapping!

是的。在制图的过程中，还能学到新的知识，对一些地点有更深入的了解，甚至还能发现很多有趣的地方。还能把这一切跟大家分享。

Without going into the details (and also because I’m no expert in that subject), I would like to point that “mapping” has a very broad definition. Not all of us create OpenStreetMap’s items, does that even counts as “mapping” or is it some form of pinpointing on a canvas arbitrary words ? What’s a map in that matter ? Is someone mapping by taking pictures of a place ? How about without even taking pictures but just strolling through streets and sharing it ?
In my case, I just do like data hoarding and sharing. OpenStreetMap is the perfect place as it gave me the opportunity to share my local knowledge, my own perception of the world. Furthermore it makes me feel that childish pleasure of creating treasure’s maps, adding POI at waypoints, and sharing it with friends to play with.
