In the June release, we introduced new components of GERS, including a new format for GERS IDs and a GERS Registry. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the GERS "system" and show you how to ask probing questions of the Overture datasets.

Understanding GERS IDs​

First, let's look at the new ID format for GERS. As of the June 2025 release, all GERS IDs are UUIDs: 128-bit, randomly-generated identifiers (UUID v4) that Overture keeps stable across data releases and updates. These IDs are stored as strings with dashes: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

For this release only, we're providing Parquet files that map GERS IDs from the May release to the new GERS UUIDs in June release. These files are partitioned by theme and 'type' and can be accessed here: s3://overturemaps-extras-us-west-2/june_to_may_id_mapping/.

Overview​

The 2025-06-25.0 release of Overture data and v1.10.0 of the Overture schema are now available. We're pleased to annouce that GERS is now in GA! This means we've launched and updated several components of the "system" to make it production-ready.

The datasets and release artifacts are available as GeoParquet files stored on both AWS and Azure. The paths are:

Overview​

The 2025-05-21.0 release of Overture data and v1.9.0 of the Overture schema are now available. This month we added PinMeTo as a new data provider for places, improved the taxonomy of the categories property, added new data sources for addresses, and fixed bugs. Also in this release, we're introducing bridge files and announcing a major change to how we generate GERS IDs starting with the June release.

Overview​

The 2025-04-23.0 release of Overture data and v1.8.0 of the Overture schema are now available.

Over the past several releases, Overture has been laying the groundwork to transition our transportation theme from beta to general availability (GA). This post provides a brief roadmap of the work we’ve done to reach that goal, along with a request for our community to continue testing the data and providing valuable feedback.
