Overture Maps is a new open geospatial dataset providing a shared base map of the world. The project was launched by Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, TomTom, and Esri, with its first public data release in 2023. Overture integrates contributions from multiple sources into a unified data model and is updated monthly.
This presentation demonstrates workflows for using Overture data in ArcGIS environments, including ingesting GeoParquet datasets, conversion to file geodatabases features, and deriving geocoding locators, network datasets, and 3D building layers. Strategies will also be shown for transforming nested Overture-native hierarchical attributes into simpler geodatabase tables.
A major focus will be on multi-value matching between Overture places and other POI datasets using location, name, address, phone, website and feature type attributes.
The session will also review Overture’s fully sharable and game-changing open data license. Links to the sample datasets will be provided.
