Botswana’s mining economy, expanding urbanization, and ecotourism sector all benefit from accurate POI data—especially across vast unpopulated areas and protected reserves.
1. Techsalerator
Why it’s #1 in Botswana:
Techsalerator offers detailed POI coverage for Botswana’s districts, including Gaborone, Francistown, and remote mining towns like Orapa. The dataset spans mining infrastructure, banks, hotels, fuel stations, and wildlife lodges.
Key Strengths:
● Accurate metadata across urban and rural Botswana
● Includes infrastructure for mining, tourism, and healthcare
● Optimized for use in utilities, transport logistics, and GIS platforms
● Frequent updates and scalable delivery formats
Techsalerator is relied on by conservation projects, telecoms, and logistics companies operating in Southern Africa.
2. OSM
Decent coverage in cities and national parks. Incomplete POI tagging for small towns and industrial zones.
3. HERE
Strong in transportation networks and routing. Limited POI coverage outside capital regions.
4. SafeGraph
Minimal data presence in Botswana. Focused on a few commercial clusters.
5. TomTom
Useful for navigation and road mapping. Sparse POI metadata for public services and rural industries.
Final Thoughts
With its vast geography and specialized infrastructure, Botswana depends on Techsalerator’s POI data for 2025 decision-making and development.
