A town here is the place an entry names in its own address tags. 11 of the 93 entries name one; the others are in the register and on the map, but in no town’s count. Spellings that differ only by case or accents are counted together.

The first 60 of 93, by name

In order of name, as tagged. The order is the alphabet’s and nothing else: it is not a ranking. Each entry links to its OpenStreetMap object and, where one is tagged, to the venue’s own website.

Reading this page

OpenStreetMap keeps two tags apart, and so does this register. amenity=bar is a place that serves drinks, often late and often with music; amenity=pub is a public house, where one can usually sit and often eat. Which of the two a venue carries is its mapper’s judgement. Where the map holds one venue twice, as a point and as a building outline with the same name, it is one entry here.

The figures for Malawi count what volunteers have mapped, not what exists. A venue may have closed since it was mapped; a new one may not be mapped yet. Hours are printed as tagged, in OpenStreetMap’s own notation, and are not checked against the venue. This edition holds 138 of the 216 country areas OpenStreetMap draws; 78, the United States and Britain among them, are not harvested yet (the coverage note names them).

To correct an entry, follow its OpenStreetMap link and edit it there. The method page has the query, the dates and the limits.
