Eritrea Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks for Eritrea. 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 on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Create general reference maps based on tagged amenities, shops, and landmarks.
• Perform urban analysis based on the distribution of public-facing facilities.
• Enrich basemaps with local detail based on tourism and man-made features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Covers multiple feature types including amenities, shops, tourism, and man-made structures.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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