Roads, buildings, shops, benches and cycle paths, mapped by volunteers. Very complete in the Netherlands, partly because the BAG was imported.

## What can you do with it?
- **Where are the benches?.** Query all benches, playgrounds or defibrillators in your municipality via Overpass.
- **How far is the nearest supermarket?.** Compute walking distances over the road network from every address.

## Interesting combinations
- Amenities per resident → [cbs-kwb](https://www.opendataindex.nl/en/bron/cbs-kwb.md) via coördinaten → buurt. Count features per neighbourhood and divide by residents.
