Meta, Microsoft and Amazon team up on maps project to crack Apple-Google duopoly - eviltoast
Overture Maps Foundation is trying to collect enough data so that companies can build maps they own and operate rather than paying Google and Apple.

Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and TomTom have formed a group that will release data that could enable companies to build their own maps. The Overture Maps Foundation has captured 59 million points of interest, including restaurants, landmarks, streets, and regional borders. The data can be used for free as the base layer for a new map application. The data was collected and donated to the foundation by Meta and Microsoft.
