AurMap Open Data
Parks, walkways and mosques: one open file for everyone.
Every month we publish an open copy of the public places on AurMap: parks, walkways, mosques, public toilets, heritage sites and seasonal venues. Download it and use it in your research, your app or your neighbourhood project, as long as you credit the source and share alike.
