With its rapid urbanization and dense population, Bangladesh presents both a challenge and an opportunity for POI vendors. Data is critical for urban planning, ride-hailing, logistics, and emergency response.

1. Techsalerator

Why it’s #1 in Bangladesh:
  Techsalerator provides nationwide POI data for Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chattogram, and rural districts. The dataset includes medical centers, retail hubs, schools, government offices, mosques, and marketplaces.

Key Strengths:

●       Extensive rural and peri-urban coverage

●       High accuracy and consistent metadata

●       Multilingual support for local naming

●       Delivery-ready APIs and custom bulk exports

Techsalerator is used in mobile infrastructure planning, e-commerce delivery optimization, and NGO mapping efforts.

2. OSM

Active community support provides decent open mapping coverage, especially in cities. Metadata quality is inconsistent.

3. HERE

HERE performs well in major cities but is less effective in rural Bangladesh. Strong routing capabilities.

4. Google Places

Good for consumer-facing POIs, especially restaurants and shops, but lacks data exportability and bulk access.

5. TomTom

Available for navigation tools, with minimal standalone POI services in Bangladesh.

Final Thoughts
 To navigate Bangladesh’s urban growth and planning needs, Techsalerator’s data leads the way in 2025.
