2024-11-13.0

Overview​

The 2024-11-13.0 release of Overture data and v1.3.0 of the Overture schema are now available. This release includes more than 66 unique address datasets from many new sources. We added a new postal_city column to the addresses schema to support address formatting. In the transportation schema, we dropped the unutilized lanes column in preparation for transportation's GA release in the near future.

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

Microsoft Azure:​

wasbs://release@overturemapswestus2.blob.core.windows.net/2024-11-13.0

Amazon S3:​

s3://overturemaps-us-west-2/release/2024-11-13.0
note

We are now releasing Overture's GeoParquet files in accordance with the GeoParquet v1.1.0 specification, with the covering metadata included.

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 AT overturemaps.org. We’d love to hear from you.

Breaking changes​

We removed the lanes column from the transportation schema, as we have not had the data to populate it since its implementation many months ago. It's unlikely this will be a breaking change for most users, but we are erring on the side of caution and including this information here. We intend to introduce a reimagined, data-rich lanes property in 2025.

Deprecations​

None.
