Map and weather data licences
The licences behind the map and weather data in Lila, in full — not just the short credit line you see under an answer.
The licence texts and notices below are reproduced in English, the language they are published in.
Overture Maps Foundation
Lila’s own nearby-places data comes from Overture’s Places dataset, built from the contributors listed below. Suggested citation:

What Lila changed
Apache-2.0 and Foursquare’s notice ask anyone who changes the data to say how. These are all of Lila’s changes, for every Overture row:
Notice of changes to the Overture Maps Places data
Lila changed the Overture Maps Foundation Places data, including its Foursquare OS Places rows, as listed below. Release used: 2026-09-23.1. Changes first made: 2026-09-26. The last change is applied each time Lila answers a nearby search.
1. Filtering.
A place is kept only when the country code of its first address is the country being loaded, the corner of its bounding box lies inside that country's extraction box, its operating status is "open" or not given, its confidence is 0.5 or higher, and it has a non-empty primary name. Every other place is removed.
2. Category mapping.
Overture's basic_category and taxonomy fields are replaced by one of eight Lila categories. A place that matches none of them is removed.
cafe: basic_category cafe or coffee_shop. restaurant: restaurant or fast_food_restaurant. park: park or dog_park. gym: gym or fitness_studio. pharmacy: pharmacy_and_drug_store. grocery: the taxonomy hierarchy contains grocery_store, or the primary taxonomy category is grocery_store, supermarket or convenience_store, or basic_category is supermarket or convenience_store. library: library. museum: museum.
3. Truncation and rounding.
The primary name is trimmed and cut to at most 120 characters. The display address is the first address's free-form line and locality, joined and cut to at most 200 characters. The position is the centre of the place's bounding box, rounded to 6 decimal places. The confidence is rounded to 3 decimal places.
4. Dropped fields.
Lila keeps only the Overture id, the primary name, the Lila category, the position, the display address, the country code, the names of the datasets that contributed the record, the confidence and the release id. Every other field is dropped, including websites, phone numbers, email addresses, social media links, brand, alternate names, opening hours and the sources of individual properties.
5. Duplicate folding.
When Lila answers a nearby search, places with the same name (ignoring case and spacing) whose positions are less than 150 metres apart are shown once. At most 10 places are shown, and each distance is rounded to 0.1 km.
CDLA-Permissive-2.0
Meta, Microsoft, PinMeTo, Krick, RenderSEO, DAC and BrightQuery are offered under this agreement. It asks that its own text travel with the data, so here it is:
