E foundation listed as contributor to Overture maps?

Hi all,

I just noticed the e foundation is listed as contributor to Overture maps.

Did I miss any announcement there?

I could think of quite many reasons why this project could be interesting for e indeed, but I don’t want to speculate here.

Personally I find Overture maps an interesting project even though it departs from the ideal of open street maps (to which I have also contributed regularly both financially and as contributor) so I welcome in any case the collaboration.

Looking forward to reading more about this..

we are actively looking for a replacement.

I just read the names of the parties (AWS, Meta, TomTom, Microsoft ) involved. Therefore I have my doubts that this will ever be a meaningful replacement for anything that is even comparable to OpenStreetMap.
