Points of Interest in Haiti from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Haiti contain points of interest tagged for public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on OSM amenity and shop tags.
• Conduct urban analysis based on the distribution of public-facing amenities.
• Enrich basemap detail for Haiti using landmarks tagged via tourism or man_made keys.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Points are categorized using established OpenStreetMap tagging schemas (amenity, shop, tourism, man_made).

Limitations

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