Category FAQ
Category FAQ
Which transportation dataset is easiest to use on the web?
Airport CSV or GeoJSON point layers are usually the easiest because they are compact and easy to transform into browser-ready formats.
Can I combine these pages with OSM workflows?
Yes. Transportation datasets are designed to cross-link with the OSM and boundaries sections for stronger topic coverage.
