ohsomeNow (also referred to as ohsomeNow Stats) is a real-time analytics dashboard and API developed by the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT). It tracks and visualizes OSM contributions globally. ohsomeNow brings transparency and context to OpenStreetMap’s massive, ongoing collaboration. Its fine-grained, flexible analytics help users understand mapping behavior patterns, measure impact of events or campaigns, and monitor trends at country or global levels.
The newly upgraded ohsomeNow Stats dashboard offers near real-time access to all OSM contributions since 2005, enabling detailed, flexible analysis of global mapping activities. Developed in partnership with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), it now includes all edits—not just those tagged with hashtags—updated every minute and calculated on demand.
Hi im Levi,
I did my Msc. in Geoinformatics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Already during my time as a student I worked at HeiGIT on open-source applications from and for OSM. Since 2025 I have been working at HeiGIT as a developer and researcher at the intersection of geographic information science and humanitarian applications, contributing to free, open-source geoinformation systems for environmental and societal benefit. The focus of my work is on quality assessments of OSM data. In recent years, my research focus has shifted to deep-learning solutions for solid waste detection.
