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.

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.

Overview​

The 2024-12-18.0 release of Overture data and v1.4.0 of the Overture schema are now available. This month our transportation theme is going to GA, we're launching a bathymetry feature type in our base theme, and we're at 400 million address records and counting in our addresses theme. What a way to end the year!
