Behind our data is a system — and today we’re taking a closer look.

From data quality to the Places theme, today’s focus is on how we make #OvertureMaps work, scale, and stay reliable.

Let’s dig in. ⚙️

Overture Maps è una enorme banca dati di dati aperti geografici.
Hanno da poco rilasciato un comodo tool per scaricare i dati da un'area di interesse.

E le coordinate del bounding box, me le faccio dare dall'AI

Su OvertureMaps, arrivano 9 milioni di indirizzi dai portali open data regionali. Quindi non dati nuovi, ma è utile e importante averli normalizzati in un'unica fonte.
Per la Sicilia sono 2 milioni. Nell'immagine l'intensità del rosso è proporzionale al numero di indirizzi.

#30DayMapChallenge | Day 29 Data: Overture | Churches & Bars

Extracted place data from @OvertureMaps and filtered to primary category contains “church” or equals “bar.” Pink areas indicate a higher coincidence of both place types.

One more map to go!
A nighttime-themed map of Wisconsin titled "Churches & Bars" shows the distribution of churches and bars across the state. Churches are represented by blue dots, while bars are shown as red dots. Key cities such as Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and Stevens Point are labeled, with clusters of dots concentrated around urban areas. The map highlights heavy concentrations of both churches and bars in Milwaukee and Madison, with smaller clusters in Green Bay and along Lake Michigan. The map is designed with a dark blue background and neon-like text and dots, giving it a striking, modern appearance. Sources include Overture Maps Foundation, and the map is credited to Stephen Kennedy as part of the #30DayMapChallenge.

Building and maintaining proprietary map data is no longer a strategic moat: it is a massive, leaking pipe in your balance sheet.

Geospatial's hidden tax: organizations spend more 💰 conflating data than buying it.

Our new blog recaps the #GeoBuiz2025 panel on how #OvertureMaps can help eliminate the 'conflation tax' on geospatial data through #GERS and open collaboration.

Not simple at all!
(1) Data: biggest Google's advantage. Lots tried with mixed results
* Static data - #overturemaps
* Live (e.g. traffic) data - no idea, no match for ggl-app
(2) Services: A number of commercial offerings, but ... see (1)
(3) Software: Lots available for viz, storage, routing, etc

今年は Overture Mapsのベータ版データを公開されたので、色々と具体的な議論ができる。日本全域の建物数はゼンリン調べの3800万戸からOverture調べで約5000万戸になるんじゃないかとの事で、以前より細かな建物検出ができるようになってきている。
