Accurate maps of streets & walkways

Explore Portland!
Walking (or running) is healthy.
It's a great way to discover the neighborhood,
to meet the neighbors,
to keep an eye on what's going on.
And it's fun.

Please help us make accurate maps of your neighborhood. We will provide a map with streets, trails, stairs and demand paths—which we believe shows all that's there and nothing that isn't. (Most street maps have an unreasonable percentage of errors.) You then tell us what errors you find on the map, and we will correct them.
