AndroidLM offline places

The places database of AndroidLM, an offline research assistant for Android. It answers questions like "the best vegan restaurants in Lisbon", "a pharmacy near me" or "video game shops in Santiago" on the phone, with no network. Each file is an ordinary SQLite file that any SQLite build opens.

File	For	Places	Size
v2/places.db	AndroidLM 1.8.0 and later	25.3 million: to eat, drink and stay; the kinds a traveller looks for (pharmacies, ATMs and money changers, hospitals and clinics, supermarkets, laundries, coworking spaces, stations, sights); shops by kind (electronics and phone repair, books, video games and toys, sporting goods and bikes, hardware, clothes, souvenirs, liquor, music, pets...); places to go out (arcades, bowling, escape rooms, climbing, cinemas, casinos, live music, comedy...)	3.5GB
places.db	AndroidLM 1.2.0 to 1.7.x	21.1 million: the first two groups only	2.9GB

Apart from the shops and places to go out, which only v2/places.db has, the two files hold nearly the same places: of 300 test lists in 20 cities, 294 came out identical, 4 differ by one in the count, and 2 differ where the build breaks a tie between equal records. Figures below are for v2/places.db; where places.db differs, its figure follows in brackets.

guide	Wikivoyage Eat, Drink, Sleep, See, Do and Buy listings matched to places (132,361 listings, 129,695 places): the guide article, section, price tier and the listing's name. The listing text itself is in Wikivoyage
cities, city_names	GeoNames cities of 1,000 people or more (171,075) and their names, including Latin-script alternate names for cities of 15,000 or more
countries, region_names	Country and first-level region names, for questions like "Paris, Texas"

Built by scripts/build_places.py in the AndroidLM repository from:

• Overture Maps places, release 2026-09-23.1: categories under food_and_drink and lodging with existence confidence 0.3 or more, and the traveller's categories (pharmacies, health, money, shops, laundries, coworking, post offices, police, embassies, sights, transport, gyms) and, in v2/places.db, 39 categories of shops and places to go out, with 0.5 or more; none marked permanently closed. The shops and places to go out are kept apart from the other places when OpenStreetMap places are matched, duplicates are folded, guide listings are matched and Wikipedia fame is given.
• OpenStreetMap places with a diet:* tag or a vegan or vegetarian cuisine, pharmacies, ATMs and money changers, fetched with scripts/fetch_osm_diet.py from QLever's copy of the planet: 234,172 [234,174] matched to an Overture place by name within 120 m (adding their diet tags, opening hours and cuisine), the rest added as places of their own. Records with the same name and kind within about 300 m are folded into one (25,360,756 before, 25,259,304 after [21,225,510 and 21,132,720]). A lone branch that Overture files as a vegan restaurant, of a business (a name with its website's domain, or a name within about 100 km) whose other places to eat are mostly neither vegan by category nor tagged vegan-only, takes the business's usual category and keeps "vegan options" (128 [129] places: Sweetgreen, Freshii, Green Eat...).
• GeoNames cities1000, admin1 codes and country information.
• Wikivoyage listings (English, September 2026), matched by name near the guide's city.
• Wikipedia (English, FineWiki August 2025) and Wikimedia pageviews: a place whose name is the title of an article about that kind of place (its first sentence says the subject is a museum, a restaurant, a hotel...; not a film, a band or a football club), near the article's coordinates, gets that article's title and monthly views (the Louvre, the British Museum, Sukiyabashi Jiro). The article text itself is not included.

Map data has no ratings and places close: the app says so with every list. Overture's categories are also wrong in places, more so for the shops and places to go out (Asunción's "arcades" include supermarkets and shopping centres).
