(Also ich nicht, fahre gerade ICE)
LonelyBob#TomTom, Microsoft, Meta (Facebook), Amazon, & others are sharing mapping data as Open Source data in the #OvertureMaps Foundation. Collaboration through shared data sets to help make maps better and more accurate. #OvertureMaps (Note one mapping provider is not participating, #GoogleMaps). #TomTomDiscover
DoudouOSM@geonews Do you know if #OvertureMaps #GERS ID are already entering in #OpenStreetMap data ? I would expect so, but I'm not sure what tag to search for. Taginfo counts 61 ref:gers entries, which I find remarkably low: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/ref%3Agers.
Rust & OSM (TB)The #OvertureMaps also contain #OSM building parts now, as ready to use geometries. But not only, also geometries of AI sources are included. No roof shapes, but it may be interesting anyway to inspect their data. There is no Web API to get small regions. There is a #RustLang crate to read the GeoParquet format they use.
Do you use #Overture ? Do you know the URL to get the files? Could you provide a Rust code example? If yes, I would add it to the inputs of "OBI"
Steven Feldman@simon @linuxfoundation Does that matter if the processed data is open? You have the choice of using the raw data from #osm or the processed data from #overturemaps which may include other sources as well

husniPro tip for overturemaps building footprint downloads: While the official data download can be tricky, explore.overturemaps.org is a handy alternative (though limited to zoom 15). Need to check multiple areas? Here's a QGIS field calculator hack:
'https://explore.overturemaps.org/#15/' || to_string(y(centroid($geometry)), 5) || '/' || to_string(x(centroid($geometry)), 5)
This generates clickable URLs for each grid cell! πΊοΈ #QGIS #OpenData #overturemaps
The Linux Foundationπ’ Making Maps Smarter with Open Data π
The Overture Maps Foundation is transforming how map data is shared & used. With Amy Rose as its first CTO, efforts continue to make mapping more open, accurate & connected.

Adam Cox@aboutgeo Went with clusters in the pmtiles in the end. Here are the gory details: https://github.com/healthyregions/overture-poi-extract/blob/v0.0.1/extract_pois.py#L142 Ultimately, we needed to create #geojson #pmtiles or #shapefile extracts from the #overturemaps "places" theme for groups of categories, filtered just to the US. But I built it so random geoms can be passed in, or you can just provide a state, county, tract, etc. ID and that boundary will be used as a filter.
