The Overture Maps Foundation (OMF) is a collaborative effort by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom “to enable current and next-generation interoperable open map products”. This is their first open map dataset.

      How does one contribute to OpenStreetMap? I am trying to add locations that I know of that are not on OSM, but I was not able to figure out how to do so on their website.

        OSM is very strict about verifiability of data. It is speculated that Overture is (because it also uses OSM data) meant to contain a lot more data that isn’t as strictly verifiable. Think AI generated building footprints.

          Ah, that’s actually pretty cool if it’s sufficiently open. OSM is pretty lacking where I am, and I know, I can contribute to it, but I really don’t have the capacity to figure that all out right now.

      Tried it once a couple of years ago and now I’m interested in giving it another shot
