South Sudan Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks across South Sudan. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated in May 2026. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote locations.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Covers multiple categories of points of interest via OSM tagging schemas for amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made features.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
