We welcome feedback about Overture Maps data in the Discussions. Feedback on the data schema, is best provided in the discussions in the schema repository.

Overture Maps data is available in cloud-native Parquet format. There is no single Overture "entire planet" file to be downloaded. Instead, the data is partitioned by both theme and type and made available on Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. Read more about Overture themes at docs.overturemaps.org/schema

The latest release, Overture 2024-04-16-beta.0, is available at the following locations:

The Parquet files match the Overture Data Schema for each theme with the following enhancements:

1. The id column contains unique identifiers in the Global Entity Reference System (GERS) format.
2. The bbox column is a struct with the following attributes: xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax. This column allows you to craft more efficient spatial queries when running SQL against the cloud.
3. The geometry column is encoded as WKB (the files are geoparquet).

We are very interested in feedback on the Overture data. Please use the Discussion section of this repo to comment. Tagging it with the relevant theme name (Places, Transportation) will help direct your ideas.
