Namibia Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap for Urban Analysis

Namibia's public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is built by volunteers and completeness varies, with urban areas likely being well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Create basemap detail layers based on OSM's amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made tags.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on the presence of public-facing amenities.
• Identify tourist attractions and landmarks for travel or economic analysis based on tourism tags.

Strengths

• Covers multiple feature categories including amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and man-made structures.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is provided under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

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