The Overture Maps Data repository hosts and documents access to Overture Maps Foundation's open global map datasets, distributed as cloud-native GeoParquet files partitioned by theme (addresses, base, buildings, divisions, places, transportation) on Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage. It includes a Python CLI for downloading data by bounding box and supports SQL queries via DuckDB and other engines.

Use cases

• download building footprints for a bounding box as geo
• query places data with duckdb to find businesses in an area
• extract addresses and transportation data for gis analysis
• load open map data into qgis or arcgis
• join my own dataset to overture features using gers ids
• analyze global building footprints at scale with spark or athena

When to choose

• you need free, openly licensed global map data in cloud-native parquet format
• you want to query large-scale geospatial data with SQL engines like DuckDB, Athena, or Spark
• you need stable identifiers (GERS) to link your data to map features
• you want to download only a small area of interest instead of whole-planet files

When to avoid

• you need a single downloadable file of the entire planet
• you need real-time or continuously updated map data rather than monthly releases
• you need a turnkey map rendering service rather than raw datasets
• you want to contribute schema changes, which belong in the separate schema repository
