Dominica Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap, 2026 Export

OpenStreetMap exports provide points of interest for Dominica, including amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. Data completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on OpenStreetMap tags like `amenity` and `tourism`.
• Conduct urban analysis of public-facing facility distribution across Dominica.
• Enhance basemap detail for navigation or tourism applications using the exported geospatial data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON), offering flexibility for different tools.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.

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, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
