#overturemapsfoundation — Public Fediverse posts

Michael Barry has created a vector map to display the datasets released by the Overture Maps Foundation.

This is the first time I've seen the ways in the dataset - great to see cycleways are in there! Also interesting to see how Microsoft and OSM buildings are interleaved - OSM buildings have the priority where I've checked.

[I went to a ‘casual’ seminar by the chief engineer at #Overture a few months ago; I was rightly wary of motives, but what he described in my opinion has challenged me – in a good way – to keep an open mind]
“Who is Overture for? Overture is for developers who build map services or use geospatial data…”

Overture is aiming to establish a baseline for maps data so that companies can use it to build and operate their own maps…”

> the Overture data format which provides consistent segmentation of the data and a linear reference system to support additions of data such as speed limits or real-time traffic

Interested to see how the Overture Maps Foundation's linear reference system supports data interoperability: https://docs.overturemaps.org/themes/transportation/#geometric-scoping-linear-referencing

It reminds me of the https://sharedstreets.io/ system (MIT license).
