Bergen is a city in Hordaland, Norway at latitude 60°22′48.00″ North, longitude 5°20′24.00″ East.

Description

Bergen is Norway's second largest city, with a population of 278,121 (2016), and is situated on the west coast, with easy access to both fjords and mountains. The city itself is surrounded by smaller mountains, making the city spread out in between and around the mountains, at the same time providing easy access to mountain trips accessible from the city center by foot.

OSM Coverage

• The road network in the city center is pretty much done.
• Coverage to the outskirts is improving, with ELVEG mostly done around Bergen (2017)
• Shops and amenities are finished, but there is one new/one closing every day so its just a matter of time before its outdated
• Streetview imagery from Mapillary or OpenStreetView are very poor in the region and would benefit some love

Sub-projects

• Mapping the trails in the city mountains

Events

There was a Mapping Party in may 2009
