Planetary Mapping in the Browser with GeoLibre! Web mapping just left Earth orbit. GeoLibre, the open-source cloud-native GIS platform, now maps nine more worlds beyond Mars and the Moon: - Mercury - Venus - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto (Jupiter's Galilean moons) - Titan (Saturn's largest moon) - Pluto... and Charon You can browse each one right in your browser, with no install required. A few things I'm excited about under the hood: The imagery comes from USGS Astrogeology, which publishes these mosaics only in an equirectangular projection. MapLibre renders Web Mercator, so GeoLibre reprojects each tile to Web Mercator on the fly at the edge, with no pre-processing and no giant downloads. Every body carries its own radius. Switch to the Moon or Pluto and your distance, area, and scale-bar measurements use that world's geometry instead of Earth's, so the numbers are actually right. A planet switcher in the Layers panel lets you hop between Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the rest with one click. Whether you are teaching planetary science, prototyping a mission map, or just curious what Titan looks like next to a scale bar, it is all a click away.

would it be possible to add some sort of overlay for celestial bodies, but for people that are non-technical

Qiusheng Wu2 months ago

Yes, you can add any layers on it

Khart Nicksome2 months ago

yes but im neither programmer nor astronomer :( something like this with easy survey/catalogue selection (but for craters and regions) would be amazing for laypeople

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

GeoLibre v2.7.0 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 is about building analysis instead of typing it: a visual Model Builder for processing workflows, a STAC browser that can add every asset type the app can draw, and a Chrome extension that opens the data on any web page in one click. 97 pull requests merged in 9 days, from 11 contributors besides me, 9 of whom sent their first contribution to GeoLibre in this cycle. Thank you all. What's new in v2.7.0 - Model Builder, a visual canvas for processing: drop tools as nodes, wire one tool's output into the next tool's input, and save the graph as a model that re-runs as a single job. The whole graph is validated before anything executes. - Your AI assistant can build one for you: describe a workflow in plain English, and it authors a validated model and opens it for review before it runs. Any model copies out as a runnable Python script. - Open data in GeoLibre, a Chrome extension now on the Chrome Web Store: it finds the dataset links and map services on the page you are viewing, including services inside embedded maps, and opens the ones you pick together on one map. - The STAC browser adds everything: PMTiles, GeoParquet, and Zarr with a variable picker join the COGs it already loaded, Icechunk repositories are read through their own manifest, and private Planetary Computer assets are signed for you. A static catalog can now be walked as a tree, not only searched. - Select features by drawing on the map: click, rectangle, polygon, freehand, and radius gestures, with Shift and Alt combining into the selection you already have. No more describing features in an expression to pick a handful of them. - Apache Iceberg tables load as vector layers, read in the browser through DuckDB, from a metadata location or a REST catalog, with the row count reported before anything is scanned. - Encoded polylines are a first-class format, with a codec, an interactive preview, processing tools, layer export, and Python support. - New vector tools: merge layers, extract vertices, and generate points along lines and polygon boundaries, all running client-side. - An activity log for shared projects and collaboration sessions, so a project owner can see who opened and edited their work. - Plugins and processing tools are now translatable too, closing the last gap where a non-English interface still read half in English.

GeoLibre v2.3.0 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 a legend that writes itself from your symbology, a new GeoLens catalog browser, and 200+ GeoLibre Rust geoprocessing tools running entirely in the browser. What's new in v2.3.0 - Automatic on-map Legend: the legend builds itself from your visible layers, with class rows for graduated, categorized, rule-based, and expression styling, gradient bars for heatmaps and raster colormaps, and land-cover labels from a Raster Attribute Table. Rename, hide, reorder, or add your own entries, and it saves with the project. - Symbology swatches in the Layers panel: every row shows a dot, line, square, or image glyph in the layer's own color, so a tall layer stack reads at a glance. - GeoLens catalog browser: connect to a self-hosted GeoLens server, search its catalog, and add datasets as vector tiles, GeoJSON, or rendered raster tiles. - Emerging Hot Spot Analysis: build a space-time cube from timestamped points and classify every cell as a new, intensifying, persistent, diminishing, sporadic, oscillating, or historical hot or cold spot, all client side. - Mosaic time series: the Time Slider now steps through MosaicJSON and STAC collections of many COGs per date, on either a GPU or a WASM rendering engine. - Copy and paste layer styles: give a whole set of layers one consistent look without restyling each in turn. - Shareable tool links: deep-link any Whitebox tool with a ?tool= URL that opens the dialog preselected and pre-fills the form, with a Copy link button to build it for you. - Smarter data loading: pick which layers to load from a multi-layer GeoPackage, import CSVs whose coordinates are in any projected CRS, and read a raster's real CRS, pixel size, and extent from the metadata dialog. - Multiple AI profiles: define several provider, model, and credential setups, pick a default, and switch between them from the assistant panel.
