Let me tell you how Overture Maps Foundation and The County of Fresno will make your life easier. My talk on this @ California GIS (CalGIS) Conference Plus closing out the conference on Sharing Data In California with Kevin Lothar Petrik Drew Decker Jason Latoski, GISP sheila steffenson #CalGIS2025 #GPNCal2025

What an incredible start to the morning yesterday, and it’s all about data! Our CEO, Mark Varley, took part in the panel "Expanding the Boundaries – The Founders’ Story," at InsTech’s Exponential Risk London 25 conference, alongside Sarah Russell Founder and CEO of Bellwether, and Todd Rissel CEO of e2Value. The discussion was wonderfully hosted by Nicola Turner, Co-Founder of Scrub AI. The panel explored the ever-evolving demand for high-precision, high-quality data. Mark highlighted this growing need and emphasised the crucial role of data-as-a-service providers like Addresscloud in enabling informed decision-making. When it comes to understanding geographical risk, precision is everything. Addresscloud provides detailed property data and location intelligence, helping businesses make informed decisions and adapt to change effectively. Another key topic was the increasing challenge of accessing open data, this is where the Overture Maps Foundation steps in. Mark discussed how Addresscloud, alongside Meta, Microsoft, TomTom, and Amazon Web Services, is shaping the future of mapping by developing reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data. This initiative supports developers building map services and leveraging geospatial data. A huge thank you to everyone who joined the session, and of course, to the speakers for sharing their insights on how they’re empowering the insurance industry with smarter risk management! #InsTech #ExponentialRisk #Insurance #Risk #Data #Innovation

The addresses theme added nearly all of California and Florida in the March release of Overture Maps. What is not obvious from just the patch notes is that all the data is actually county level sourced rather than the more typical state or federal sources. The new data has actually more than doubled the number of sources in the addresses theme bringing the count from 87 to 177.

?? Overture 2025-03-19.0 is now live! This month’s update brings key improvements across multiple themes: ?? Addresses: Expanded coverage in California, Florida, Oregon, and Hong Kong. ?? Buildings: Added ~13M new buildings from Instituto Geográfico Nacional, Spain. ??? Divisions: Enhanced data formatting & #GERS ID updates. ?? Get the #opendata: https://lnkd.in/eRTC3pgk

Join us at Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum (CNG) Conference!

?? Making Maps Smarter with Open Data Maps help us navigate the world, but without easy access to accurate data, they can fall behind. The Overture Maps Foundation is working to change that by making map data open and connected for everyone. With Amy Rose as its first CTO, Overture is improving how map information is shared and used. Her role in the National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) will also help bring open data, businesses, and government efforts together to create better, more reliable maps. ??

How is cloud-native geospatial reshaping the way organizations interact with spatial data? ???? It prioritizes flexibility, changes how data consumers connect, removes friction, and unlocks new possibilities. Join us, alongside Amy Rose from the Overture Maps Foundation and Eshwaran Venkat ? from Dotlas, as we discuss: ? How modern approaches enable scalability across various compute infrastructures ? Eliminating the need to move massive datasets ? The ability for users to work with data wherever they are—whether locally or in the cloud ? The future direction of geospatial technology ??
