Web maps that don't choke on data

The map builder at the center of OrbGIS. Style, filter and publish vector layers in the browser — in SWEREF 99, if that's where you work.

What it is.

Open a map and everything is a panel. Down the left: Add, Layers, Tables, Basemap, Legend, Bookmarks, Properties, Export. Select a layer and a second toolbar appears on the right — Styles, Filter, Pop-ups, Fields, Labels, Related. No modal mazes, no ribbon. The map stays in the middle where it belongs, with coordinates ticking along the bottom.

Every feature layer renders as vector tiles from our own tile server. Layers past 100,000 features get a level-of-detail pyramid built at ingest: density cells at low zooms that trace the dataset's true silhouette, real geometry the moment features span a pixel, full attributes when you're close enough to care. The selection happens server-side, per tile. So the dense national dataset that chokes other platforms just… renders.

Maps live in the coordinate system you pick, not the one the web defaults to. SWEREF 99 TM and all twelve local zones ship built in, alongside RT90, ETRS89/LAEA, Finnish, Polish and British grids — and a search box over the full EPSG registry for everything else. Tiles reproject once at load, not every frame, and the pipeline is tested against PostGIS ground truth to under two pixels of error. Lantmäteriet and GISCO basemaps render on their native grids.

Capabilities

What you get.

Four ways to style a layer

Single color, graduated, categorical, or heatmap for points — with a live legend and 25+ color ramps including Viridis and the colorblind-safe Wong palette. Point layers can cluster, with counts on the circles.

Filters, all the way down to SQL

Stack rules with ten operators, combined with AND or OR. Need more? Write a raw WHERE clause — it's validated against the server before it applies. Or describe the filter in plain words and let the AI write the SQL.

Pop-ups you compose, not configure

Build popup bodies from ordered blocks: field tables, rich text with {field} variables, related-records sections. Drag to reorder. Field aliases and formats come along from the Fields panel.

Your CRS, not just Web Mercator

SWEREF 99 TM plus twelve local zones, RT90, ETRS89/LAEA and more ship built in; the CRS picker searches the entire EPSG registry for the rest. EPSG:3035 maps get a native tile grid — zero client reprojection.

22 basemaps, on their own grids

Lantmäteriet Topowebb in native EPSG:3006, five GISCO styles in EPSG:3035, Kartverket for Norway, plus Esri imagery, Carto and OpenTopoMap. Your org can add its own to the gallery.

Big layers get a pyramid, not a spinner

Layers past 100k features are pre-aggregated at ingest into per-zoom LOD tables — density cells, thinned points, simplified outlines. The tile server picks the right one per zoom. Nothing to configure.

The rest of the toolbox

Measure distance and area in the units you choose. Save bookmarks and share them as JSON. Search addresses, browse the feature table, and export the view as PNG, WebP or SVG with drag-to-position legend, scale bar and compass.

How it works

From zero to published.

  1. Start a map

    Pick a coordinate system and a basemap in Properties — or keep the defaults and get going. Basemaps with native support for your CRS are featured first.

  2. Add layers

    Pull feature services, tile layers, imagery or WMS from your org's content — or upload a file right from the Add panel. Big uploads get their LOD pyramid built automatically.

  3. Make it yours

    Select a layer and work down the right toolbar: symbology, filters, pop-ups, field aliases, labels, related records. Every change previews live on the map.

  4. Save and reuse

    Ctrl+S. The same map then drops into dashboards, storymaps and apps — same tiles, same styling, same projection.
