Build a local business directory
A common use of the Overture Maps API is to build a local business discovery or directory product: find the businesses in a place, sort them by category, and enrich them with contact details so users (or your own pipeline) can reach out or verify them.
Map every location of a retail chain
Use the OpenSource Overture Maps API to pull every location of a brand across a country as GeoJSON and drop it on a map — worked example maps all 2,334 Greggs in the UK.
Build a "what's near me" feature
Build a nearby places feed for a mobile or web app with the OpenSource Overture Maps API. Radius search, category chips, walking distances, and hiding closed or unreachable places. Worked example around Bondi Beach.
Profile a neighbourhood with Overture places data
Get the category mix of any neighbourhood from the Overture Maps API. Count places by category inside a radius, roll them up into Overture's 13 top-level taxonomy groups, and compare two areas. Worked example in Soho and Canary Wharf, London.
