Points of Interest in Bangladesh from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide points of interest for Bangladesh, including amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Create basemap detail layers based on the described public-facing amenities and landmarks.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on the described shop and amenity tags.
• Identify tourist attractions for travel or economic analysis based on the described tourism tags.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Covers four major OSM tag categories: amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap, with urban areas better mapped than remote ones.
