# Additional Data Sources
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how data sources other than OpenStreetMap mentioned in
|
|
the install instructions got obtained and converted.
|
|
|
|
## Country grid
|
|
|
|
Nominatim uses pre-generated country borders data. In case one imports only
|
|
a subset of a country. And to assign each place a partition. Nominatim
|
|
database tables are split into partitions for performance.
|
|
|
|

|
## US Census TIGER
|
|
|
|
For the United States you can choose to import additonal street-level data.
|
|
The data isn't mixed into OSM data but queried as fallback when no OSM
|
|
result can be found.
