Location Knowledge Base

A standardized, open-source geospatial dataset providing high-fidelity location intelligence for global mapping applications.

The Overture Maps Foundation (backed by Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and TomTom) delivers a comprehensive Location Knowledge Base featuring 2.3 billion building footprints and 54 million places of interest. This initiative unifies disparate data sources into a single, interoperable schema, allowing developers to build precise navigation and geocoding tools without proprietary lock-in. By leveraging cloud-native formats like GeoParquet, the system enables high-speed spatial queries for logistics, urban planning, and autonomous systems.
