Overture Maps is a new open data initiative by a consortium of mapping companies - many of which are also involved in OSM. For OSM mappers and data users, Overture might seem like a competing project towards the same goal - a free and complete global geo dataset. Overture released its first datasets in Summer 2023, let's take a look at their data! I'm a long-time developer of OSM tools and an outsider to Overture, and I'll give my perspective on the project's potential: * Putting Overture data on a map using FOSS tools - Tippecanoe, PMTiles, and Planetiler * Overture themes and tags vs. OSM * Differences and similarities in contribution models + licensing * Deep dive on state-of-the-art tools for processing Overture/ OSM + how OSM might adopt efficient storage formats like Parquet * Using Overture as a complement to improve OSM
