@jez @djh This is largely right. We haven’t done a good job at explaining this. But there’s more in Overture. Daylight had few checks on admins (why we had it in a sidecar) but there’s a lot more in Overture. Also better validation of the road network than Daylight had.
The main annoying thing that’s emerged from the AI industry is literally everybody claiming their model beats all others. It’s like driving up the Maine coast in the summer where even the gas stations have a giant banner declaring “Voted Maine’s Best Lobster Roll!”

@simon @seav This is awesome! There are some tricks we can use to structure the parquet files that allow more efficient bounding box queries using remote predicate pushdown. It’s all pretty new for spatial parquet data. We’ll probably look at this for future releases along with easier country/region partitioning.
@amapanda We did not make an OSM planet file for the data released this week.
