The Overture Maps Foundation, a community-driven effort to develop an open map dataset built for map service providers, last month announced the first public showing of their work in what they are referring to as a “pre-release.” The Overture Maps Foundation was officially formed last December in an effort headed by the Linux Foundation with Amazon Web Services, Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom as the group’s founding members. Esri has also since joined as a general member, with Cyient, Precisely, PTV Group, and SafeGraph joining as contributor members.
