The Baltics were chosen as the location for the 2025 Hitchgathering. All hitchhikers are welcome to join the scouting discussion on Signal/Matrix.
A common format to tag official hitchhiking stops on OpenStreetMap was established. Alongside, all historic spots that used a different way to tag hitchhiking places were altered to adhere to the newly established standard. Now you can assume that this overpass query will give you all official hitchhiking spots that are mapped. Feel free to build upon this.

🌍🌎🌏 HITCHMAP ACCOUNTS ARE BACK: Hitchmap Register.
Be quick to claim your account name if you have used the map already when it was on Hitchwiki or if you have submitted reviews using a nickname in the past. This will also enable you to see reviews of yourself or any other user like https://hitchmap.com/?user=bob#filters. As Hitchmap remains part of the Hitchwiki ecosystem you can also link your Hitchwiki account :)
🌍🌎🌏 Quite a nice milestone for hitchmap you can now add the exact time of your ride to new spot entries and we got more in the pipeline - if you wanna speed things up you can have a look at github. This will benefit every hitchhiker using the map getting more precise information as well as hitchhiking research more broadly.
