Need reliable map data that’s open and ready to use?
Overture Maps brings together open data from trusted sources — and now it’s available inside Atlas.
Launched by Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, Overture Maps is designed for developers, analysts, and anyone who needs good map data that’s easy to work with.
In Atlas, you can explore and use Overture data right in your browser.
No downloads. No setup.
What You Get with Overture Maps
All in One Place
Overture Maps combines data from:
- OpenStreetMap
- Civic groups
- Private companies
This gives you broad, rich, and accurate map layers.
You’ll find:
- Roads and transport lines
- Building footprints
- Points of interest
- Boundaries and divisions
- Global address points
The result is a more complete map — updated regularly and ready for serious work.
See It Instantly in Atlas
In Atlas, you can enable the Overture Maps layer with one click.
You’ll get high-quality data in your workspace, automatically styled and ready to explore.
Use it to:
- Contextualize your own data
- Compare with other map sources
- Run analysis on a solid base
It’s fast, browser-based, and always up to date.
Built for Developers and Analysts
Overture Maps uses a standard data format called GeoParquet.
This format is:
- Lightweight
- Fast to query
- Easy to integrate
And with Atlas, you don’t need to handle raw files. The integration does that for you.
Just select the Overture layer and get started.
Global Entity Reference System (GERS)
One key feature of Overture is GERS — a system that connects different datasets to the same real-world places.
For example, a school in OpenStreetMap and one in a local dataset will be matched to the same location.
This makes it easier to merge, compare, and clean data across sources.
You’ll see fewer duplicates and better consistency.
Verified and Clean
Overture Maps data goes through quality checks to catch errors and avoid vandalism.
The data is:
- Validated
- Checked for consistency
- Regularly reviewed
That means what you see in Atlas is ready for production use — not just raw or messy open data.
Thematic Data That Covers What You Need
Overture Maps doesn’t stop at roads and buildings.
It includes:
- Addresses: For logistics, delivery, and location searches
- Buildings: 2+ billion footprints globally
- Divisions: From country borders down to neighborhoods
- Places: Restaurants, shops, schools, and other points of interest
- Transportation: Detailed networks for routing and planning
These themes are already available inside Atlas as map layers.
You can toggle them on, inspect features, and overlay your own data on top.
