French Guiana Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide points of interest for French Guiana, including amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Data completeness varies, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Create general reference maps based on tagged amenities and landmarks.
• Conduct urban analysis based on the distribution of public-facing amenities and shops.
• Enrich basemaps with detailed points of interest tagged via tourism and man_made keys.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is built from a free, collaborative source (OpenStreetMap).
• It is part of a larger grid of exports maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Limitations

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