OpenStreetMap exports provide public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks across Israel. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team maintains this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on tagged amenities and shops.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on public-facing amenities.
• Enrich tourist applications with landmarks and attractions tagged via tourism keys.
• Conduct urban analysis using man-made feature data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
