OpenStreetMap
An open-source collaborative world mapping project that provides freely available and editable geographic data and map tile services, using the Web Mercator projection standard.

If the icon library is generated based on OSM data, the ODbL's derivative database clauses may impose requirements on how the results are distributed.
The quality of OpenStreetMap data varies considerably across regions, and the completeness of city boundary tags (boundary=administrative) is inconsistent.
OpenStreetMap data covers elements such as road networks, building footprints, waterways, administrative boundaries and land use, often at granularity down to the block level.
In the Shibuya Sky rooftop project, Opus pulled more than 22,000 buildings from OpenStreetMap, used the towers' real outlines and heights, and placed Mount Fuji according to its real bearing.
Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) provides a free geocoding service, but the public server limits requests to a maximum of 1 per second, requires a real User-Agent, requires attribution, and is suited to low-frequency or prototype development, with self-hosting or a commercial service recommended for production.
LooGo is an Android app that uses OpenStreetMap data to show nearby public toilets and provides information such as access codes, prices, opening hours and accessibility facilities.
The coverage density of OpenStreetMap POI data varies enormously across regions; major cities in Europe and North America are fairly detailed, while other regions may be sparse or outdated.
The developer scraped 1,020 Austin business websites from OpenStreetMap (cafes, restaurants, dentists, clinics, salons, bakeries), removed chain brands sharing domains, and made one request to each homepage; 592 loaded successfully, of which 27 had any chat component, 15 were Wix's built-in owner chat feature, and the only ones identifiable as AI assistants all came from chain brand websites.
GhostRunner uses the Overpass API to query POIs in OpenStreetMap along the route corridor as material for the LLM narration.
GhostRunner's narrator can only mention landmarks that actually exist on the route in OpenStreetMap, and a validator rejects any fabricated landmarks.

50%UnverifiedIn the Kalighat-Hazra area of Kolkata, India, the number of seating locations recorded in OpenStreetMap is zero.
50%UnverifiedThe Overpass API is a read-only interface for data queries in the OpenStreetMap ecosystem, supporting the filtering and extraction of geographic features in specific areas through SQL-like syntax with conditional criteria.
50%UnverifiedIn the Mainz Neustadt district in Germany, OpenStreetMap has mapped 431 benches, and the app uses this data to plan multiple circular routes of 590 meters, 987 meters, and 1294 meters, with the longest unseated segment being only 149 meters.
50%UnverifiedA developer scraped data from two Indian cities approximately 300 km apart and found: the smaller city had 28 locations, 0 benches, and 3 tagged trees within 1200 m; the larger city had 701 locations, 24 benches, and 566 tagged trees.
50%UnverifiedOSM data reflects where annotators live rather than the actual distribution of features, creating a structural bias in the geographic availability of applications built on OSM.
50%UnverifiedTerraGemma uses folium and streamlit-folium to render OpenStreetMap layers.
50%Unverifiedcard_writer requires the model to wrap each place name in double brackets, which are then extracted via regex and compared against a real OSM place name list to check for hallucinations.
50%UnverifiedThe quality of OSM layer data related to North Korea is uneven: data on the urban area of Pyongyang is relatively more complete, but road network annotations in rural border areas are rough and have higher error rates.
