Open Source Google Maps API Alternative

Overture Maps Foundation[0] is a Joint Development Foundation Project[1] initiated by Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and tomtom, aiming to create reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data.

Overture Maps allows us to download open map data, like places of interest, as GeoJSON[2] which we can transform into SQL and ingest into our Postgres database on Supabase.

Using PostGIS we can then programmatically generate vector tiles and serve them to our MapLibre GL client using supabase-js.
