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!

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

Microsoft Azure:​

wasbs://release@overturemapswestus2.blob.core.windows.net/2024-12-18.0

Amazon S3:​

s3://overturemaps-us-west-2/release/2024-12-18.0

You can access the datasets by following the process outlined here. We encourage you to ask questions, report bugs, and provide feedback via our data and schema repositories on GitHub. If you have a suggestion for a new dataset or if you have data you'd like to contribute to Overture, you can email us at data@overturemaps.org. We’d love to hear from you.
