About Vegan Map: data and methods
Vegan Map shows 78,886 vegan, vegetarian and vegan-friendly places in 185 countries on one free map. This page explains what the labels mean and where the data comes from.
What the labels mean
- Fully vegan: everything on the menu or in the shop is vegan (in OpenStreetMap: diet:vegan=only).
- Vegetarian: no meat or fish, with vegan dishes on the menu (diet:vegetarian=only and diet:vegan=yes).
- With vegan options: a regular restaurant, café or shop that offers at least some vegan dishes or products (diet:vegan=yes).
- Organic, farm and zero-waste shops: shops tagged as organic, farm shops and shops for unpackaged goods, whatever their range.
Where the data comes from
Most places come from OpenStreetMap, the free world map made by volunteers, under the Open Database License (ODbL). Others come from the original Vegan Map database and from users of the app.
How suggestions are checked
New places and reports about wrong or closed places are sent through the app and checked by hand before anything changes on the map.
How up to date it is
The OpenStreetMap data is refreshed every month. Each city page shows the date of its latest change.
