Geospatial Data
Maps, boundaries, points of interest and mobility data for location-based products and analysis.
Geospatial datasets include maps, administrative boundaries, points of interest and mobility data used to build mapping products and conduct location-based analysis.
Open sources provide a strong free base layer, while commercial providers can add curated points-of-interest data or specialized accuracy.
Typical sources
- Open community mapping projects
- Commercial geodata vendors
- Custom web data collection for points of interest
Common formats
- GeoJSON / Shapefiles
- Raster and vector tile formats
- CSV with coordinate fields
Buying tips
- Check regional coverage depth before committing to a source
- Confirm attribution or share-alike license requirements for commercial use
- Combine a free base layer with commercial data only where it adds clear value
Compliance notes
- Some open geospatial licenses require attribution or share-alike terms — review before commercial use
