> Since their release in 2005, Google Maps-based tools have become the de facto solutions for a variety of online cartographic projects. Their success has been accompanied by a range of critiques denouncing the individualistic market-based logic imposed by these mapping services. Alternative options to this dominant model have been released since then; uMap is one of them. <mark>uMap is a free, open-source online mapping platform that builds on OpenStreetMap to enable anyone to easily publish web maps individually or collaboratively.</mark> In this paper, we reflect on the potential and limits of uMap based on our own experiences of deploying it in six different mapping projects. Through these experiences, uMap appears particularly well-suited for collaborative mapping projects, due to its ease in connecting to remote data and its high level of interoperability with a range of other applications. On the other hand, uMap seems less relevant for crowdmapping projects, due to its lack of built-in options to manage and control public contributions. Finally, the open-source philosophy of uMap, combined with its simplicity of use and its strong collaborative capacity, make it a great option for activist mapping projects as well as for pedagogical purposes to teach a range of topics including online collaborative cartography.

> Le numérique peut-il aider à franchir les murs de l’École ? L’École peut-elle aider à s’affranchir des enfermements numériques ? Double défi joliment relevé par Hervé Baronnet, professeur des écoles dans l’académie de Bordeaux, membre de la Fabrique des Communs Pédagogiques. <mark>Avec le logiciel libre de cartographie numérique uMap, les élèves sont invités à des « balades pédagogiques »</mark> : à explorer et à s’approprier un territoire en produisant des cartes collaboratives et créatives. Présentée à la Journée Du Libre Educatif le 29 mars 2024 à Créteil, la démarche, inspirante, « enseigne des savoirs de manière interactive, concrète et mémorable. » Elle forge le désir et la capacité d’élargir, de découvrir, de conquérir son espace de vie. « En sortant de l’école / Nous avons rencontré / Un grand chemin de fer / Qui nous a emmenés / Tout autour de la terre / Dans un wagon doré » (Jacques Prévert) ….
