MapThat

MapThat is a free, open-source, web-based application designed for visualizing and interacting with geographic data. It allows users to upload and display various types of spatial information, such as shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML, and CSV files, on an interactive map. The platform supports multiple base map layers, including OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, and others, enabling users to choose their preferred background.

Key features of MapThat include the ability to overlay multiple data layers, customize their appearance through styling options, and perform basic spatial queries. Users can zoom, pan, and explore their data directly in the web browser without requiring specialized desktop software. The application is built using JavaScript and leverages libraries like Leaflet.js for map rendering.

MapThat is particularly useful for individuals and organizations needing a straightforward way to share and explore geographic datasets. Its open-source nature allows for customization and integration into other web applications. While it may not offer the advanced analytical capabilities of professional Geographic Information System (GIS) software, it provides a accessible platform for data visualization and exploration. The project aims to simplify the process of bringing spatial data to life on the web.
