Overview​

The 2026-09-23.0 release of Overture data and v2.0.0 of the Overture schema are now available. This is a major schema release: the deprecated categories property has been removed from the places theme in favor of taxonomy. Places grew 10.6% to 81.5 million features, as BrightQuery coverage expanded into Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Canada.

You can access the datasets, changelog, GERS registry, bridge files, and PMTiles on AWS and Azure at the paths listed below.

Breaking Changes​

• categories (places): removed the categories property entirely, including categories.primary and categories.alternate. Use taxonomy (taxonomy.primary, taxonomy.hierarchy, taxonomy.alternates) or basic_category instead.
• sources (addresses): added provider, resource, and version fields to the sources struct, and renamed source dataset labels to a provider/resource form.

What's new?​

In this release, we added a new admin_level property to the divisions schema to represent a division’s position in its country’s hierarchy, e.g. 0, 1, 2. We also updated our places guide with more information about our recent taxonomy work, including mappings across the basic_category, taxonomy, and categories properties. Last but not least, we updated our address data for Norway and made small improvements to our address schema thanks to user feedback from Johannes-Andersen. Keep the comments and discussions coming!

Overview​

The 2025-12-17.0 release of Overture data and v1.15.0 of the Overture schema are now available. The datasets and release artifacts are available as GeoParquet files stored on both AWS and Azure.

What's new?​

We added a new taxonomy property to our places schema this month, as part of our ongoing initiative to redesign the places category system. The new property offers a streamlined and logical structure with consolidated primary and alternate names and a hierarchy that makes clear the parent/child relationship between categories.

In October, we introduced the basic_category property. That property corresponds 1:1 to the primary place name in the new taxonomy property. (It also maps to the primary name in the original categories property.) The hierarchical paths in taxonomy support deeper and more logical structures. For example, in the restaurant branch, you can see a clear progression from very broad to very specific category names: restaurant > asian_restaurant > east_asian_restaurant > chinese_restaurant > cantonese_restaurant. This kind of structure makes it easier to aggregate and display POIs in meaningful ways.

The original categories property, with more than 2100 category names, will remain in the schema for the next several months so that users can compare the old system to the new taxonomy.

Examples:

1. Original categories system

properties:
   categories:
      primary: greasy_diner

2. basic_category mapped to primary category in original categories system

properties:
   basic_category: casual_eatery
   categories:
      primary: gas_station_sushi
      alternate:
         - bait_and_tackle

3. New taxonomy

properties:
   basic_category: casual_eatery
   taxonomy: 
      hierarchy: [food_and_drink, restaurant, casual_eatery, gas_station_sushi]
      primary: gas_station_sushi
      alternate:
         - gas_station
         - sushi_restaurant
