Overture Maps

Place listings on thePulse are seeded from the Overture Maps Foundation places theme, then corrected and enriched by our community. Overture assigns every place a stable GERS identifier, which is what lets us re-sync against later releases without losing the corrections made here.

Release in use: 2026-07-22.0
