The Overture Maps Foundation was founded in December 2022 by several companies with the same goal: to create reliable, user-friendly, and interoperable open map data that supports both current and future map products. Esri shares this vision and has been a member since shortly after the project was publicly announced<\/a>. Overture generates monthly releases of reference datasets such as buildings, roads, POIs and more, and makes them accessible through open AWS s3 or Microsoft Azure endpoints<\/a>. The data within Overture is sourced from a wide variety of open sources<\/a> including OpenStreetMap, Esri Community Maps, Microsoft, Meta and many more. The size and cloud-hosted nature of Overture data makes it an ideal candidate for creating Parquet feature layers.<\/p>\n

For our initial set of Early Access content we are sharing the following eight web maps through the Overture Parquet Layers group<\/a>: addresses, railways, infrastructure points\/lines\/polygons, places, major cities and division areas.
