What is this dataset about?

Points of Interest (POI) on data.nextgis.com is a comprehensive spatial dataset that includes information about a wide variety of locations: from cultural landmarks to popular recreation and business establishments. Each point contains detailed information – names, categories, precise addresses, and other important characteristics.

Where does the data come from?

Our product contains continuously updated/refreshed information from three sources:

  • Foursquare – a global database of popular places
  • Overture Map Foundation – comprehensive database including data from Amazon, Microsoft, Esri, TomTom
