Turkmenistan Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks across Turkmenistan. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on amenity, shop, and tourism tags.
• Conduct urban analysis of service distribution based on tagged facility locations.
• Enrich basemap detail for regional mapping projects based on man_made landmarks.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• It is explicitly tagged with OSM keys for amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made features.

Limitations

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