Watch out, Apple and Google.

Good news for folks looking to degoogle their phones, this should help open-source Google Maps alternatives.

Straight from their FAQ on the relationship with OSM:

What is the relationship between Overture and OpenStreetMap?

Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

    It always decides to stop working correctly whenever you actually needed it to work.

      Precisely, and then when I switch to Waze it does the same shit. No surprise as they’re owned by Google.

      Typical google nonsense 4 different products for the same thing none of which do it well.

        I feel like Apple Maps has genuinely surpassed Google Maps at this point. Google Maps is more of a Yelp replacement now.
