2024-09-18.0

Overview​

The 2024-09-18.0 release of Overture data is now available. We are still on v.1.1.0 of the Overture schema, as we did not cut a new schema version with this data release. The base, buildings, divisions, and places themes are stable, which means the only changes to these themes are data improvements and bug fixes. We added new road data from TomTom, mostly in Saudi Arabia, to the transportation theme (beta). To the addresses theme (alpha) we added new data for Finland and Chile, and we replaced NAD-sourced address features in New York City with addresses from NYC Open Data.

note

Overture's GeoParquet files are now released according to the GeoParquet v1.1.0 specification, with the covering metadata included.

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

Breaking changes​

There are no breaking changes this month.

Deprecations​

In the 2024-08-20.0 release notes, we announced the deprecation of the connector_ids property in the transportation schema. We plan to remove that property by the October release. It has been replaced by the new connectors property, introduced in the schema last month.

Addresses​

  • added 3,897,449 new addresses in Finland.

Buildings​

  • made incremental changes to improve the accuracy and quality of the dataset.
  • refreshed data with Daylight v1.54.

Divisions​

  • rolled back to the August version of the divisions data because a bug fix in the latest version caused a regression in local_type property coverage.

Places​

Transportation​

  • added more than 1000km of non-OSM road segments from TomTom to improve data in Saudi Arabia and fix a coverage gap.
