This dataset includes information on places of interest, building footprints, transportation infrastructure, administrative boundaries, and a base layer. The foundation aims to provide developers with ready-to-use geospatial data for their applications. Developers can now begin beta tests using Overture's data and schema and provide feedback to prepare the dataset for general availability. Companies can also attach outside data to the Overture base map using Overture's Global Entity Reference System (GERS). The Linux Foundation Overture project, which offers an open source alternative to commercial mapping services like Google Maps, is mapping the globe with this new dataset. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#general-programming](https://daily.dev/tags/general-programming) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/overture-maps-foundation-releases-beta-of-its-global-map-dataset-04xhxlgwc) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Overture Maps Foundation Releases Beta of Its Global Map Dataset","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/overture-maps-foundation-releases-beta-of-its-global-map-dataset-04xhxlgwc","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/overture-maps-foundation-releases-beta-of-its-global-map-dataset-04xhxlgwc"},"datePublished":"2024-04-16T12:34:23.724Z","dateModified":"2024-04-17T16:08:36.723Z","description":"The Overture Maps Foundation has released the beta version of its global open map dataset, providing ready-to-use geospatial data for developers.","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/562bc314da5b16cb14da8e99ff174508?_a=AQAEufR","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/562bc314da5b16cb14da8e99ff174508?_a=AQAEufR","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/overture-maps-foundation-releases-beta-of-its-global-map-dataset-04xhxlgwc","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"general-programming","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Overture Maps Foundation Releases Beta of Its Global Map Dataset"}]} ```
