French Polynesia Railway Features from OpenStreetMap

French Polynesia's OpenStreetMap export includes all features tagged as railway or station. The dataset, created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, was last updated on March 3, 2026. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and Shapefile.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag.
• Geocode station locations based on address attributes like 'addr:full' and 'addr:city'.
• Analyze multilingual station naming conventions based on 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:fr' fields.
• Assess infrastructure elevation and layering based on 'ele' and 'layer' attributes.

Strengths

• Data is available in four common geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML.
• Includes multilingual naming attributes ('name', 'name:en', 'name:fr') for features.
• Contains specific address details ('addr:full', 'addr:city') for location context.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
