1. Techsalerator

Why it’s #1 in Burundi:
  Techsalerator covers all 18 provinces of Burundi with POI listings for schools, clinics, marketplaces, government buildings, and religious centers—accurate down to commune and colline (hill) level.

Key Strengths:

●       Full national rural and urban coverage

●       Ideal for NGOs, government, and public services

●       Available in shapefiles, spreadsheets, or direct integration

Used widely by humanitarian organizations and infrastructure planners, Techsalerator ensures data accuracy in a country where every resource counts.

Useful for basic mapping. Inconsistent POI depth and verification, especially outside Bujumbura.

3. HERE

Navigation-focused with limited POI entries beyond main roads.

4. SafeGraph

5. TomTom

Road network only. No significant POI support.
