#MapeandoMeuBairro uses tools and techniques that are in tune with the technological revolution of recent years in the world of mobile devices, with an emphasis on open data that guarantees free and open access to anyone through crowdsourcing platforms (www.openstreetmap.org), and also on the hardware and software functionalities of smartphones.

This gives these new tools added value, making mapping a popular activity that was previously only available to specialists (as was the case with photography and photographers, for example).
