Overture Maps is a foundation of corporate members aiming to produce comprehensive datasets and other map products. Map data are assembled from multiple sources including members, civic organizations, and open data sources. The formation of the Overture Foundation was announced by the Linux Foundation in December 2022.[1]

Currently they heavily use OpenStreetMap data, but they have also released some own datasets using open licenses.[2]

Overture steering members[3] are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta (Facebook), Microsoft and TomTom. Some other companies are members with lesser rights, including Esri.

Overture members cooperate in releasing and using open map data.

Overture Maps published a panel discussion on YouTube (2024-08-13) in which they discussed, among other topics, how they use OpenStreetMap data.
