Austrian Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Austria contain points of interest tagged with `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides the data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Create a general POI reference database based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Perform urban analysis of amenity distribution and accessibility.
• Add detail to basemaps for navigation or tourism applications.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
