Hi I work at a human rights organisation in Manchester, UK. I saw an Open Street map which displayed the human rights violations in Bahrain and I was very impressed by this and interested in how it was done as we would like to produce something similar. I contacted the organisation and they said they didn't know as the project was outsourced. Can you help. Their map is here: http://umap.openstreetmap.co/en/map/bahrain-human-rights_478#11/26.1360/50.6470

Many thanks Zara

There are lots of links from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap - do they help? There's also "help" information on http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ of course.

Please note that UMap is a service on top of OpenStreetMap, which allows individuals to create their own maps (based on the OpenStreetMap map) and share them online. The Bahrain map was created by a UMap user called ADHRB; if you're interested in the sources they used to create the map you'll have to contact them - unfortunately, I can't see any way of contacting a UMap user.

If you're looking to create your own map in UMap (based on your own data), then the links provided by SomeoneElse should get you started.

@ZaraR maybe you are lucky in trying to contact the equally-named OSM.org user ADHRB (note that there is no user account connection/synchronisation between umap and osm.org, it is just a name similarity). Register on osm.org, then you can send messages to this user.
