Why Overture?

Collaborative Map Building

Overture incorporates map data from multiple sources, including member organizations, authoritative sources, and open data communities. Together, we build map data that no single organization could produce alone.

Global Entity Reference System

GERS provides stable, unique IDs that link the same real-world entities across datasets. Combine data from different sources without manual reconciliation, and join your own data to the world's map without ambiguity.

Quality Assurance Processes

Overture data undergoes validation to detect errors, breakage, and vandalism. Our quality processes help ensure the data is reliable enough for production systems.

Structured Data Schema

Overture defines a common, extensible schema across multiple data themes. Build map and AI products on a shared, open foundation.
