You contribute to OSM to have an open source database free to all
I contribute to OSM so my local Pokemon GO scene has accurate biome mapping
We are not the same
What tags does pokemon go use to determine biomes? I occasionally contribute updates around my local area, that would be a neat thing to apply
Lots of them! Pokemon go has a few main biomes with lots of other factors to determine what spawns. Main biomes are grass, city, mountain, and water.
Then you have other tags for things like parks and paths, which give special spawn points. Parks have rotating habitats for one particular species and can have EX gyms. Paths will spawn Pokemon along them with a few unique species.
Regional spawns occur as well, with some continents or countries having one or more special species unique to it. And rather than a strict limit, some species are much more common in certain latitudes.
Beyond that are some tags that prevent spawns, like military bases or wetlands, places you aren't encouraged to just walk around.

Some tag info from Reddit regarding paths and spawn blocking:
highway=footway
that also carry the tagbridge=yes
do not generate additional spawn points. Critically, this encompasses all boardwalks, which are correctly taggedbridge=boardwalk
.highway=footway
do not provide a spawn point exception through the area blocked bynatural=wetland
as they do fornatural=wood
. It's possible that this is an extension of the issue withbridge=yes
โ I have no local examples without both tags.landuse=basin
block all spawn points, despite being used correctly to tag the contemporary practice of building a stormwater retention system beneath a city park. These areas are rendered as water in-game, but do not seem to influence Water spawns, although more data would be helpful in determining this. (OSM also has issues rendering basins.)leisure=nature_reserve
do not nest. Could be intent, could be oversight, but seems like an odd exception, as the distinction between a park and a preserve is fluid โ at least in the US. The same is true for areas taggedlanduse=winter_sports
, the correct tag to describe a ski resort, and areas taggedleisure=dog_park
.amenity=prison
do not block all spawn points. Since this is the correct way to tag a prison or jail โ which is to say, a high-security facility where people probably shouldn't be chasing Pokรฉmon โ this seems wrong.waterway=river
,waterway=stream
, andwaterway=ditch
are not rendered on the map despite influencing Water spawns in nearby spawn points. The same is true for areas taggednatural=wetland
and points taggedamenity=fountain
.power=line
andpower=minor_line
do not influence Electric spawns in the way that streams do with Water Pokรฉmon. More of a missed opportunity than anything. You could say the same withrailway=rail
and Steel or any of the more specific OSM building tags the game references to seemingly no effect:leisure=stadium
,amenity=cinema
,tourism=hotel
, and so on.highway=track
show up visually as paths, despite being intended to represent vehicle tracks that fall short of the qualifications for being an unpaved road. They do not generate additional spawn points, so this is assumed to be an error with the in-game renderer.highway=service
andservice=driveway
render as roads on the map, which are not to scale. This is especially glaring if houses and garages are mapped. Ideally, there probably should be a thinner style of road for all service roads, tracks, living streets, or any other highway designation where vehicles are likely to encounter pedestrians.Waouh. Gather such knowledge is some dedication to a game. Congrats!
