OpenStreetMap
How many POIs does OpenStreetMap have?
Publicado por PlaneMad o 1 de Outubro de 2016 en English. Última actualización no 11 de Maio de 2017.Might depend on what exactly one considers a point of interest, but looking at some common keys:
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/amenity
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/shop
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/historic
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/tourism
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/craft
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/office
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/leisure
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=peak
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=bus_stop
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/railway=station
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/aeroway=aerodrome
we get around 20 million features that could be potential landmarks or points of interest.
Just counting points that have names, we get around 12.9 million features.
Addresses

- https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr:postcode
70 million individual addresses and 49 million postcode locations
Maybe there is a better way of finding out, but here’s a new conversation starter at your next mapping party!

By counting features in maps.me maps, I found around 11.2 million POIs with names, quite close to your estimate.

And then you forgot to look at the tourism tag (hotel, museum, etc.) :-)
