What is this tool?
A browser-based tool for visualizing and exploring large-scale geospatial data. It leverages WebGL to produce high-performance map visualizations that enable intuitive analysis of location data. Originally developed by Uber as an open-source GIS tool, it allows data exploration without any programming.
Features
- Diverse layer types: Supports multiple layers including points, lines, polygons, heatmaps, hexbin aggregation, arcs, and more.
- Interactive operations: Explore data through filtering, zooming, panning, and time-axis animations.
- High-performance rendering: Uses WebGL to smoothly render millions of data points at high speed.
- Style settings and customization: Adjust color coding, scale settings, 3D representation (height/extrude), and many other display options.
- Export: Save and share completed maps as PNG images or interactive HTML, as well as CSV file output.
- Save and load created projects
How to use
- Add data: Drag and drop CSV or GeoJSON files to load them.
- Configure layers: Select a type (point/polygon, etc.) from the layer panel and assign columns such as latitude and longitude.
- Customize: Adjust colors, sizes, filters, and scales to optimize the visualization.
- Save and share: Save settings and maps (locally/export) for reuse.
