520    Maps are a fundamental resource in a diverse array of 
       applications ranging from everyday activities, such as 
       route planning through the legal demarcation of space to 
       scientific studies, such as those seeking to understand 
       biodiversity and inform the design of nature reserves for 
       species conservation. For a map to have value, it should 
       provide an accurate and timely representation of the 
       phenomenon depicted and this can be a challenge in a 
       dynamic world. Fortunately, mapping activities have 
       benefitted greatly from recent advances in geoinformation 
       technologies. Satellite remote sensing, for example, now 
       offers unparalleled data acquisition and authoritative 
       mapping agencies have developed systems for the routine 
       production of maps in accordance with strict standards. 
       Until recently, much mapping activity was in the exclusive
       realm of authoritative agencies but technological 
       development has also allowed the rise of the amateur 
       mapping community. The proliferation of inexpensive and 
       highly mobile and location aware devices together with Web
       2.0 technology have fostered the emergence of the citizen 
       as a source of data. Mapping presently benefits from vast 
       amounts of spatial data as well as people able to provide 
       observations of geographic phenomena, which can inform map
       production, revision and evaluation. The great potential 
       of these developments is, however, often limited by 
       concerns. The latter span issues from the nature of the 
       citizens through the way data are collected and shared to 
       the quality and trustworthiness of the data. This book 
       reports on some of the key issues connected with the use 
       of citizen sensors in mapping. It arises from a European 
       Co-operation in Science and Technology (COST) Action, 
       which explored issues linked to topics ranging from 
       citizen motivation, data acquisition, data quality and the
       use of citizen derived data in the production of maps that
       rival, and sometimes surpass, maps arising from 
       authoritative agencies.
