You mean adding text labels to the map?

Francisco5 months ago

Yes, that's correct. I didn't know how to do it. Sorry, I'm not an advanced user.

I'm excited to introduce GeoLibre, a lightweight, cloud-native desktop GIS built with MapLibre GL JS and Tauri. GeoLibre is designed for modern geospatial workflows, combining the flexibility of web technologies with the performance of a native desktop application. The current prototype includes a MapLibre-powered map workspace, local vector data import, project persistence, and built-in plugins for basemaps, layer control, swipe, street view, lidar, GeoAgent, and GeoEditor integrations. GeoLibre can run directly in a web browser or as a standalone cross-platform desktop application (<30 MB).

Introducing the GeoLibre R package! GeoLibre already runs as a desktop app, a web app, and a Jupyter widget. Now it runs in R too. The new geolibre R package is an htmlwidgets interface that embeds the full GeoLibre GIS in the RStudio Viewer, Quarto, R Markdown, and Shiny. What you get: - A real GIS, not a static map. Layer panel, styling, drawing tools, identify, and the processing toolbox are all there inside your R session. - Bring your own data. `sf` objects, GeoJSON, CSV and XY tables, Shapefile, GeoPackage, FlatGeobuf, GeoParquet, KML, Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, XYZ, WMS, WMTS, WFS, PMTiles, vector tiles, 3D Tiles, and even video overlays. - Shiny, in both directions. `geolibre_proxy()` updates a live map without rebuilding it, and drawn features, selected features, identify results, and the current view come back as Shiny inputs. You can even run processing algorithms from the server. The package is on GitHub now while the first CRAN submission is prepared. Try it out - R package website: - Live interactive example: - Source: - GeoLibre Web: - Documentation: #RStats #GIS #Geospatial #OpenSource #Shiny #MapLibre #GeoLibre

Image Georeferencing Using GeoLibre in the Browser Learn how to georeference images, scanned maps, and historical maps directly in your web browser using GeoLibre, with no desktop GIS software required. Video tutorial: In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to georeference a campus map by selecting ground control points, choosing a transformation method, evaluating residual errors, and aligning the image with a basemap. You'll also learn how to export the georeferenced result as a GeoTIFF, reload it into GeoLibre, compare it with the basemap, and share the finished map online. GeoLibre is a free and open-source, cloud-native GIS platform that runs in the browser, on desktop and mobile devices, and in Jupyter notebooks.

GeoLibre v3.0.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release landed 95 pull requests from 11 contributors, and 5 people made their first contribution to GeoLibre. Thank you to everyone who filed an issue, reviewed a change, or sent a patch. Our first major release makes the Cesium 3D globe a full rendering engine for the whole workspace, brings time-dynamic CZML scenes and native KML to the globe, and lets you save your edits straight back to ArcGIS Feature Services. What's new in v3.0.0 - Cesium as your main map: switch the entire workspace between MapLibre 2D and Cesium 3D from the View menu, and the choice is saved with your project. - Nearly every layer on the globe: COGs, PMTiles, MBTiles, vector tiles, ArcGIS services, I3S scene layers, LiDAR point clouds, and Gaussian splats all render in 3D, with extruded polygons and true elevation for 3D vectors. - Dynamic 3D scenes: load CZML for orbits, trajectories, and moving objects that play along the globe clock, open KML and KMZ with their original styling, and add Cesium Ion assets such as OSM Buildings by id. - Your tools work in 3D too: screenshots, print layouts, video and camera tours, the Elevation Profile, and the Sun, Atmosphere, Flight Simulator, and weather plugins. - ArcGIS write-back: edit a Feature Service layer in GeoLibre and save additions, changes, and deletions back to the service. - Editable SVG print layouts: export a layout and fine-tune the title, legend, and scale bar in Inkscape or Illustrator. - Smarter rasters and new data sources: viewport-based raster stretch, persistent layer filters from Select by Expression, a Portolan catalog browser, OGC CSW catalog search, and a USGS NLDI panel for tracing river networks.

GeoLibre v1.4.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release brings field data collection, image georeferencing, and a full Jupyter notebook experience right next to the map. What's new in v1.4.0 - Jupyter beside the map: Run notebooks alongside your map (JupyterLite in the browser, JupyterLab on the desktop). - Field data collection: Capture point observations in the field with custom, configurable forms. - Georeferencer: Pin a scanned map or image to the map using ground control points. - Spectral Index toolbox: Compute NDVI, NDWI, EVI, and more directly from your rasters. - Better internationalization: Correct rendering of right-to-left basemap labels (Arabic, Hebrew). - More reliable data handling: Render GeoPackages without GDAL's WASM thread crash. Try it out - Live demo: - GitHub: - Documentation: - Release notes: #GIS #GeospatialData #OpenSource #RemoteSensing #DataVisualization #MapLibre #Python

Excited to share that maplibre-gl-lidar v0.6.0 is now available! This release adds support for the Entwine Point Tile (EPT) format ( making it possible to stream and visualize billions of LiDAR points directly in the browser with ease and performance. The demo below showcases the visualization of an incredible 184 billion LiDAR points! Live Demo Viewer: GitHub Repository: Full Video Tutorial: Huge thanks to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the 3DEP Program ( for acquiring nationwide LiDAR data, Hobu, Inc. for processing the point clouds into Entwine format ( and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Program ( for hosting this massive and continually growing collection of over 350 TB of EPT data with over 75 trillion points. #lidar #opensource #opendata #geospatial #maplibre #deckgl

GeoLibre v1.1 is out! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private. This release builds on the v1.0 foundation with features that make day-to-day mapping smoother: - Attribute table management — rename, delete, hide/show, and reorder fields right in the table, with the layout saved to your project. - Data-driven symbology for Add Vector Layer — single, categorized, graduated, and expression-based styling now applies to maplibre-gl-vector layers. - Atmosphere Effects plugin — a deep-space backdrop, parallax starfield, comets, and a glowing globe halo at low zoom (toggle it from the Controls menu). - Layer panel upgrades — rename layers, open the attribute table, and export straight from the layer actions menu. - Auto Refresh extended to Add Vector Layer URL layers. - In-browser GeoPandas via Pyodide — run the vector tools with no Python sidecar, same results. - Plugin API — external plugins can now render on the host's shared instance via app.getDeckGL(). Try the live demo: Star it on GitHub: Docs and roadmap: Release notes: #GIS #OpenSource #Geospatial #MapLibre #WebGIS #DuckDB #GeoLibre
