Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Includes multiple export formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
