How many POIs does OpenStreetMap have?
PlaneMad ಅವರಿಂದ 1 ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 2016 ರಂದು English ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೋಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ Last updated on 11 ಮೇ 2017.Might depend on what exactly one considers a point of interest, but looking at some common keys:

- 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

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.) :-)
