OMF STAC inluding pmtiles – Spatialists – geospatial news

The #Overture Maps Foundation (#OMF) has released a #STAC for its data themes – including addresses, buildings, places, and transportation – available as #cloudnative #GeoParquet and #PMTile files via AWS and Azure. The #PMTiles are ready-to-use, e.g. to easily preview in Protomaps for quick exploration.

Given that I currently have to rest a whole lot more than usual, it might be a "good" time to point towards OMF's current "Triple Giving November". I'll boosts the background and necessary information from last year after this post, but this is this year's link: https://www.omf.ngo/triple-giving-november-2025/

I can also point towards other organisations if anyone should be interested.

Either way, thank you for considering!
