The Overture Maps Foundation (OMF) released its first dataset consisting of about 60 million places which are separated into four unique data layers: Places of Interest (POIs), Buildings, Transportation Network, and Administrative Boundaries.

Developers can use this dataset to build their mapping applications. This service is similar to what Google Maps API already provides so this makes OMF a competitor.

The Overture Maps Foundation was founded in December 2022 by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom.
