Map data and licences

The places on our map are open data. Anyone can download them, use them and build on them, as long as they credit the sources and keep what they make open too.

Where the places come from

The licence

The places database is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. When you add or correct a place’s name, location, kind, opening hours or website, you agree that those facts are published under the same licence. Nothing about you, such as your name or account, is part of a place.

Spotted a mistake in a place from OpenStreetMap? Fix it at the source with “Improve it on OpenStreetMap” on the place card, so every map that uses OpenStreetMap gets the fix.

Download the places

Every month we publish the public places as one file, with a README that lists the columns and sources. It holds names, kinds, points, opening hours and websites, and never ids, accounts, private pins or places waiting for review.

Monthly releases

Map tiles

The map itself is drawn from OpenFreeMap tiles using the OpenMapTiles schema, from OpenStreetMap data. Your device loads those tiles straight from OpenFreeMap, which sees your IP address and the area you are looking at.
