What is OpenStreetMap?

OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world.

What is Valhalla?

Valhalla is Mapzen’s open-source routing service for client-side routing applications and hosted solutions.
