Description
The Overture Maps Places theme contains more than 64 million point representations of real-world entities: businesses, schools, hospitals, religious organizations, landmarks, mountain peaks, and much more.
Each place record includes location coordinates, names, categories, contact information (websites, social media, emails, phones), brand information, addresses, and operating status. A confidence score indicates the certainty of each place's existence.
This dataset is part of the Overture Maps Foundation's collaborative effort to develop interoperable open map data. The data is released monthly and always reflects the most recent release.
