2026-07-22 release notes
Overview
The 2026-07-22.0 release of Overture data and v1.18.0 of the Overture schema are now available. You can access the datasets, changelog, GERS registry, bridge files, and PMTiles on AWS and Azure at the paths listed below.
Deprecations
The categories property in the places schema has been deprecated and will be removed in the September 2026 release, replaced by the new basic_category and taxonomy properties. All three properties will be available until then to ease the transition for our users. The taxonomy documentation is here.

You can access this month's data and release artifacts by following the process outlined in our docs. We encourage you to ask questions and provide feedback on the Overture Maps Discussion forum on GitHub. You can also file issues and report bugs in our data and schema repositories.
