Overture Maps Explorer
Browse Overture Maps places, brands, buildings and boundaries on a live map, right here in your browser. Every view shows the API call behind it, so when you find what you need you can copy it straight into your own code.
The built-in demo key works near New York, London, Paris and Sydney. Paste your own key into the explorer to look anywhere; searches you have already run are not repeated against your plan.
Six ways to explore Overture data
Places
Pick categories and a brand, move the map, and see every matching place with its category, brand logo, address and status.
Restaurants and food
Browse food and drink with the hierarchy-aware taxonomy filter, and hide places marked closed.
Brands
See the chains near any point, with logos, websites and parent companies from Wikidata, then map every location of one.
Divisions
Search countries, regions, cities and neighbourhoods by name, and load their boundary polygons.
3D buildings
Building footprints extruded by height or floor count, with class, roof and facade details on click.
Site selection
Click anywhere for an area report built from four endpoints: places, brands, addresses and the road network.
How this compares with Overture's own Explorer
Overture publishes its own Overture Explorer, which shows a release's raw features as map layers. It is the best way to inspect the source data itself.
This explorer is built on the Overture Maps API, so it shows what an application would actually get back: filtered by category, taxonomy or brand, enriched with brand logos and websites, and paged like a real request. Each result comes with the request that produced it, which is the quickest route from looking at the data to using it.
Questions
What data is in it?
Overture's monthly open map releases: points of interest, building footprints, addresses, administrative boundaries and more. What is Overture Maps? explains the themes and licences.
Does exploring use up my plan?
Not with the demo key, which is free near the demo cities. With your own key, each new search counts as one request; repeat searches are served from memory, and the map only searches automatically on the demo key, so panning around doesn't quietly use your allowance. Plans are on the pricing page.
Can I build my own version?
Yes. The explorer is open source on GitHub, and the guides show how to build the common pieces, such as a "what's near me" feature and 3D buildings.
