Cambodia Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a crowdsourced map of public amenities, shops, and landmarks across Cambodia. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete. The data is maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Create a general POI reference layer for Cambodia based on OSM tags like `amenity` and `shop`.
• Perform urban analysis of amenity distribution and accessibility using the `tourism` and `man_made` tags.
• Enhance basemap detail for mapping applications with verified local landmarks.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, free, and collaborative global mapping project.
• Covers multiple POI categories via established OSM tagging schemas (`amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, `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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; cross-checking critical decisions with local field knowledge is advised.
