    [$] The Overture open-mapping project

    Description:
    OpenStreetMap tends to dominate
    the space for open mapping data, but it is not the only project working in
    this area. At the 2024 Open
    Source Summit Japan , Marc Prioleau presented the Overture Maps Foundation , which is
    building and distributing a set of worldwide maps under open licenses.
    Overture may have a similar goal to OpenStreetMap, but its approach and intended uses are significantly different.
