    OSM is very strict about verifiability of data. It is speculated that Overture is (because it also uses OSM data) meant to contain a lot more data that isn’t as strictly verifiable. Think AI generated building footprints.

      Ah, that’s actually pretty cool if it’s sufficiently open. OSM is pretty lacking where I am, and I know, I can contribute to it, but I really don’t have the capacity to figure that all out right now.
