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

Overview​

The 2025-10-22.0 release of Overture data and v1.13.0 of the Overture schema are now available. The datasets and release artifacts are available as GeoParquet files stored on both AWS and Azure. There are several data updates and (minor) breaking schema changes in this release.

What's new?​

New basic_category property in the places schema​

In the places schema this month, we introduced a simple basic_category property that maps to our original categories.primary property. This change is part of a new initiative to reimagine Overture's category taxonomy. The new property is based on a commonly-used cognitive science concept called "basic-level categories," where category names balance being specific enough to be useful while general enough to be broadly applicable.

Major data updates and GERS stability in addresses​

The addresses theme has hit a new high of 455 million records, an increase of nine million records from our September release. More than 325 million of those records retained their GERS ID from the previous release, a major milestone for GERS stability as addresses moves toward General Availability next quarter.
