 [$] The Overture open-mapping project

https://openstreetmap.org/
 tends to dominate
the space for open mapping data, but it is not the only project working in
this area.  At the 2024 <a href="https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-japan/" rel="nofollow">Open
Source Summit Japan</a>, Marc Prioleau presented the https://overturemaps.org/
, 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.
