What's new? Big changes to GERS.​

In this release, Overture has standardized the id property across all themes by adopting UUIDs, stored as strings. This is a one-time breaking change for our ID system. For this release only, we are offering Parquet files, partioned by theme and type that map the old May IDs to the new June UUIDs. You can find that file here: s3://overturemaps-extras-us-west-2/june_to_may_id_mapping/.

Overture is now producing bridge files with each release. You can find the latest bridge files here, partitioned by dataset, theme, and type:

s3://overturemaps-us-west-2/bridgefiles/2025-06-25.0

The newest component of GERS is the GERS Registry, which will also be updated with each release. The GERS Registry files are here:

Breaking changes​

  • added perspectives to the top-level names property

  • migrated GERS IDs to new GERS UUIDs

Theme-specific updates​

info

Base​

  • increased coverage of certain classes, especially within land_use and infrastructure. Examples: communication_pole, pedestrian_crossing, plaza, street_lamp, cable_barrier, fire_hydrant
  • addded all upstream source tages from OSM to the source_tags property

Buildings​

  • added a new data provider: City of Vancouver, CA

Divisions​

  • added new TomTom-sourced segments, improving coverage in Turkey
