Congo Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks for the Congo region. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this collection, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Create basemap detail for Congo based on OSM-tagged landmarks and amenities.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on tagged shops and public facilities.
• Support general point-of-interest reference for tourism and navigation applications.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes points tagged via established OSM keys: amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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