Greenland's road network exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Routing and navigation based on the road network hierarchy.
• Accessibility analysis based on road types like footways and trails.
• Evacuation planning based on the connectivity of motorways and residential streets.

Strengths

• Includes a variety of road types, from motorways to trails, as described.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON).
• Last update timestamp is explicitly provided (2026-05-15 10:10:52.838347).

Limitations

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