📰 It's official! We are now a member of the Overture Maps Foundation (Overture) 🎉 We are excited to join their mission of creating reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data for the world. Being a part of the Foundation will also allow us to forge stronger partnerships with map data users and creators, and direct attention to key countries in need of humanitarian data! 🗺️ Learn more about them here: https://buff.ly/3FTBpYR

Exciting news from San Francisco! 🤩 Our team is launching the most comprehensive Interactive Map of World History, https://timemap.org/, at an event organized by Stanford University. Check out the event here: https://lnkd.in/dfxF-RXp - attending at 9:30 PST (18:30 CET) is possible over Zoom, if you register ahead. With TimeMap.org, you can pick a place on a map, set a year on a time slider, and travel back in time. Learn about the names of countries of the past, rulers and kings, battles, famous artists and musicians, mathematicians, and more. This interactive tool may transform how people access and engage with history, allowing them to check facts while watching the news, talking to friends, preparing school homework, or visiting a historical site with family. Don't forget to 🔃 repost and 👍 like to spread the word! Visit https://timemap.org/ tomorrow and anytime later to access this free, mobile-optimized resource. Announcements followed by discussion with David Rumsey of David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University Libraries, Frederic Kaplan from Time Machine Organisation & EPFL, and Elton Barker from The Open University and Pelagios project.

#GWF2024 | Amy Rose, Technical Director, Overture Maps Foundation, presented on the Open Map Data with Stable IDs for creating new opportunities for mobile Businesses, Governments, and People.   She says, "Through Open data project we built a global map data ecosystem on a stable, accurate, open basemap, which will help improve, maintain and expand the open basemap data. We want to build an ecosystem of associated data that can be easily and consistently used on the open base maps for those who want to use either geospatial or non-geospatial data." #GeospatialWorldForum2024 #geospatial #opendata #basemap #data

It’s not often you come across an organization that has the potential to make a difference. I mean really make a difference. This tiny organization called ‘PLACE’ is one of them. Read more in Map Happenings ... https://lnkd.in/gffgKP-T

Great news! Overture data is now available on BigQuery and Snowflake, allowing direct access and simplified integration into your existing workflows. Try them out and share your thoughts with us: https://hubs.la/Q02vRC-J0 A big shout-out to CARTO for making this possible.

Kevin Bullock recently attended the Overture Maps Foundation Summit. He shares some background context and explains how DevSeed sees this project fitting into the broader global open map data ecosystem. Curious about our take? Read on: ds.io/overturemaps 📸 : Overture data in Lonboard (Kyle Barron)
