OpenStreetMap tends to dominate
the space for open mapping data, but it is not the only project working in
this area. At the 2024 Open
Source Summit Japan, Marc Prioleau presented the Overture Maps Foundation, which is
building and distributing a set of worldwide maps under open licenses.
Overture may have a similar goal to OpenStreetMap, but its approach and
intended uses are significantly different.
