Everything runs locally and your data stays private. This release packs in 35+ pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights: - Run SQL right in the browser. The SQL Workspace pairs DuckDB Spatial with a new in-browser PostGIS engine (PGlite), so you can query layers, local files, and remote URLs without a server. - A smarter attribute table. Add fields, run a field calculator, and explore your data with a built-in Charts panel (histogram, scatter, bar, line, and box plots). - More ways to add data. OpenStreetMap PBF extracts, Cloud-Optimized NetCDF/HDF via kerchunk, georeferenced video overlays, authenticated 3D Tiles, and a Layer builder for custom overlays. - Better visualization. Heatmap rendering, point clustering, and H3 hexagonal grids for spatial binning. - New analysis and routing. A Directions plugin, plus Spatial Join, Select by Value, and Select by Location vector tools. - Print and share. A print layout composer that exports your map to PNG or PDF. - Work faster. A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + K), global keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo for layer and style operations. - Built for everyone.

New short course on Building Applications with Vector Databases, taught by Pinecone’s Tim Tully! At the heart of a vector database is the ability to store a collection of vectors and then query against that, meaning input a new vector and find similar ones. This is useful for many AI applications. In this course, you'll learn how to use vector databases to build: (i) Semantic Search: Create a text search tool that goes beyond keyword matching, and instead focuses on the meaning of content. (ii) RAG (retrieval augmented generation): Enhance your LLM output by incorporating context from sources the model wasn't trained on. (iii) Recommender System: Combine semantic search and RAG to recommend topics, and demonstrate it with a news article recommender. (iv) Hybrid Search: Build an application that finds items using both images and descriptive text -- by combining both sparse and dense vector representations of the data -- using an eCommerce dataset as an example. (v) Image Similarity: Use image vector embeddings to create an app to compare facial features, using a database of public figures to determine the likeness between them. (vi) Anomaly Detection: Build an anomaly detection app that identifies unusual patterns in network communication logs. I hope you’ll enjoy learning how to build all these types of applications!

This approach allows for a deeper comparison of spectral characteristics across different land cover types and supports more advanced geospatial analysis. 📓 Try the notebook example: 💻 Explore the code on GitHub: #Hyperspectral #Geospatial #Tanager #Python #DataScience #OpenSource

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 just passed 5,000 stars on GitHub, in only two months! GeoLibre went public on May 27, and the community has already pushed it past 5,100 stars and 500+ forks. Thank you to everyone who starred, forked, filed issues, opened pull requests, and shared the project. For those just discovering it: 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. Key features of GeoLibre: - Runs anywhere: the same app ships as a native desktop app, a browser web app, a native Android app, and a Jupyter widget. - Local and private by default: load and analyze GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, Shapefile, COG, LiDAR, 3D Tiles, and more, right in the browser. - Powered by open source: built on MapLibre GL JS, DuckDB-WASM Spatial, Tauri, React, and TypeScript. - Spatial SQL in the browser: query your data with DuckDB Spatial, PostGIS via PGlite, and Apache Sedona. - Extensible: a growing plugin system for cloud data, federal web services, and custom tools. - Supports 12 planetary basemaps: Earth, Mars, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and more. Two months in, we have already shipped 25 releases, the latest being v2.4.0. There is a lot more to come, and the best way to shape it is to jump in. Try it out - Launch GeoLibre Web: - GitHub: - Documentation: - Release notes: If GeoLibre is useful to you, a star on GitHub and a share here go a long way. Thank you for an incredible first two months. #geospatial #opensource #MapLibre #GeoLibre
