Excited to share a new open-source project for the web-mapping and LiDAR community: maplibre-gl-lidar 🚀 With maplibre-gl-lidar, you can visualize large-scale LiDAR point clouds (LAS/LAZ, including COPC) directly in the browser using MapLibre GL JS. It supports point-cloud data stored locally or hosted on the web, and comes with an interactive GUI featuring customizable color schemes, classification legends, and point picking. It even works seamlessly inside Jupyter Notebooks. Visualizing tens of millions of LiDAR points has never been this simple or fast, making it easy to build modern, lightweight, and fully interactive web-based LiDAR viewers. Try it out: Live Demo Viewer: GitHub Repository: Full Video Tutorial: #MapLibre #LiDAR #WebGIS #OpenSource #PointCloud #3DMapping

I am very excited to release GeoLibre v1.0 🌍 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. In this video, I walk through GeoLibre 1.0 step by step: how to install and run it, load vector and raster data, stream gigabyte-scale cloud-native datasets without downloading them, edit attributes and geometry, work with PMTiles, 3D tiles, LiDAR point clouds, and DuckDB, and share your projects as static links. GeoLibre is built on MapLibre GL JS, React + TypeScript, Tauri (Rust), DuckDB, and Try it: GitHub: Full video tutorial: If you have feature requests or run into bugs, leave a comment or open an issue on GitHub. And if you find GeoLibre useful, please give it a star. #GIS #OpenSource #Geospatial #MapLibre #Python #DataVisualization #GeoLibre
