Use Cases

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers multiple POI categories via established OSM tagging keys (`amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, `man_made`).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
