Overview

The 2025-05-21.0 release of Overture data and v1.9.0 of the Overture schema are now available.

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.

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

March 20, 2025

Today Overture released a patch for the March data. There was an issue with a data pipeline process that caused theme and type columns to show up in some of the Parquet files. This issue likely had minimal, if any, impact on users.
