RiceMaps open data

Every place on RiceMaps is free to download, one file per state, as a spreadsheet (CSV) or for mapping tools (GeoJSON). The files are gzip-compressed; most tools open them directly, or unzip them first.

License and credit

The data combines OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and Overture Maps (© Overture Maps Foundation, permissive licenses). The files are offered under the ODbL: you may copy, use and adapt them if you credit © OpenStreetMap contributors and Overture Maps Foundation and share adapted databases under the same license. The cuisine group, rice signal, hours and features are RiceMaps' own labels, provided as is. A "rice" label is a guess from cuisine and name, not a checked menu. The plain-language summary is in DATA-LICENSE.txt.
