The open-data catalog, reinvented

See it before
you download it.

Geo Atlas turns a government's map services into a living atlas: hover to preview any layer instantly, pin layers to compose a map, draw an area to see what covers it — and leave with a working map, not a zip file.

The problem with data portals

A search box that occasionally shows a map.

  • Dead previews. Thumbnails, broken viewers, or one gray layer behind a slow page.
  • Download-and-pray. No feature counts, no field profile, no health signal — you find out after the zip.
  • No composition. Two datasets can never be seen together; every layer is an island.
  • No "what covers my area?" The one question every user has, unanswerable everywhere.
  • Jargon shelves. "Planning Cadastre." "Geoscientific." Residents don't speak ISO.
12documented interactivity gaps in today's portal platforms — usability studies keep finding the same ones

"Data goes undiscovered; datasets discovered are unusable" — the verdict of open-data research, year after year.

The idea

A map that happens to have a search box.

Hover = see it

Move over any dataset card and the real layer renders live on the shared canvas. No thumbnails, no click-through, no waiting.

Pin = combine it

Tap ⊕ and layers stack into a workbench — floodplains over hospitals over roads — composing an actual map as you browse.

Draw = discover it

Sketch your neighborhood and every dataset re-ranks by what's really inside it, with live feature counts.

01
The exit that changes everything

Leave with a working map, not a zip file.

  • Open as app — your pinned combination becomes a real, standards-based web map (layers.json, ESRI Web Map JSON).
  • Share link — one URL restores your exact layers and view for a colleague.
  • Data slices — GeoJSON/CSV of just what you filtered, not the whole warehouse.

The catalog's output is the input to real work — GIS tools, dashboards, briefings.

Three layers from two agencies, composed in 30 seconds — exported as a map any GIS can open.

Every dataset, actionable in seconds

A live dossier, not a metadata page.

  • Live profile: real feature count, geometry, fields, and a health ping — measured now, not written in 2019.
  • API playground: edit a query, run it, see rows, copy working code — the API is a tool, not a link.
  • "Pairs well with": the datasets that belong next to this one.

Findable by humans

Shelves people actually speak.

ISO folders become human shelves — automatically, at catalog-build time.

Priority badges

Emergency-response and financial-services priority layers are tagged, so professional users find the authoritative source first.

Editorial home

A first-visit home page presents the catalog as browsable shelves with stats — a storefront, not a filing cabinet.

Proven at four different scales — today

One app. Four live regions. Zero API keys.

Switching regions is a URL parameter. Adding your region is a configuration entry — the app never changes.

For data stewards & CIOs

Your data investment, finally seen.

  • No migration. Geo Atlas reads the ArcGIS services you already publish — nothing moves, nothing re-hosts.
  • Standards out: DCAT-US feeds so national portals and CKAN harvest you; machine-readable catalog for AI agents.
  • Sovereign: runs on your servers, open-source foundations, no per-seat map licences, bilingual-ready (EN/AR incl. RTL).
  • Honest by design: health pings, crawl vintages, and image-fallback badges — the catalog never pretends.
30sfrom "does this data exist?" to a composed, shareable map — the metric the whole product optimizes

Your residents get answers. Your analysts get working maps. Your developers get a playground. Your portal stops being a filing cabinet.

Try the loop yourself

Hover. Pin. Draw.
Leave with a map.

Open the demo, hover "Floodplain", pin "Hospitals", draw a box around your neighborhood — and watch a data catalog behave like a map product.
