Zambia Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

Points of interest from OpenStreetMap, exported for Zambia. The data includes public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks tagged via `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• General POI reference for mapping applications based on OSM tags.
• Urban analysis of amenity distribution and access based on tagged features.
• Enhancing basemap detail for visualization and navigation tools.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers multiple feature types via established OSM tagging schemas (`amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, `man_made`).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).

Limitations

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