Points of Interest in Uganda from OpenStreetMap

Uganda's public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks tagged via OpenStreetMap keys. The data is useful for general POI reference, urban analysis, and basemap detail. It was created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-06-22.

Use Cases

• Create reference maps for Uganda based on tagged amenities and landmarks.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on the presence of shops and public amenities.
• Enrich basemaps for navigation apps with detailed tourist attraction data.

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).
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-06-22 22:06:28.041747.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, likely resulting in sparse data for remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
