Wherobots

Wherobots is a cloud-native environment for geospatial data processing, powered by Apache Sedona. Their hosted notebook environments and data pipeline APIs allow you to work with massive geospatial datasets at scale. As an Overture Maps Foundation member, Wherobots maintains a mirror of all Overture Maps datasets in its cloud environment. Here's how you can access that data.

info

Before you start ensure that you have a free Wherobots Community Edition Organization or a paid Professional or Enterprise Edition Organization. For more information, see Create a Wherobots Account.

Navigate to the Wherobots spatial data catalog

1. Log in to Wherobots Cloud.

2. Go to the spatial catalog.

Locate the Overture Maps database

1. In the sidebar, expand either the wherobots_open_data catalog or wherobots_pro_data.

If you have a Wherobots Professional or Enterprise Edition Organization, you also have access to wherobots_pro_data, which includes datasets for enriching your analysis, such as US Census demographics and local weather events.

2. Within wherobots_open_data, expand the overture_maps_foundation database.

Here, you'll find Overture Maps tables, named according to Overture Maps theme and type: {theme}_{type}. For example, buildings_building is a table of the building type in the buildings theme and transportation_segment is a table of the segment type in the transportation theme.

3. Select a table to view its detailed schema and confirm it contains the data you need.

Each table contains the following:

• catalog name
• catalog storage path
• database
• table name
• table schema
