Empowering the Map Ecosystem With Open Data
summary
Overture Maps Foundation builds openly licensed six base layers (transportation, places, boundaries, buildings, addresses, base) contributed by AWS Meta Microsoft TomTom and now ~36 members and released several layers to GA in June; it combines government sources (Japanese MLIT), Microsoft and Google ML building outputs and community OSM edits to produce ~2.3 billion buildings, uses a global entity reference system (stable IDs) to simplify conflation, and powers products like TomTom Orbus, Bing, Meta maps and Esri Living Atlas.
